When water is flowing by osmosis out of the cell because the concentration of water is what?
Water moves by osmosis, through a semipermeable membrane, from a HIGHER concentration of water to a LOWER concentration of water. The process is really trying to make the amount of water on each side to be equal.
A type of passive diffusion where water moves through a semipermeable membrane toward an area of higher solute concentration is called?
I assume you're talking about Osmosis, but I believe there are actually other similar processes as well.
How is osmosis related to water?
Osmosis is when water molecules pass through a membrane. For example, if there is more salt outside a cell then inside it, the process of osmosis transports water molecules outside the cell to equalize the concentration of salt. WordNet's definition: diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
Comparison of osmosis and reverse osmosis?
Osmosis is a natural process, where a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane from the region of low solute concentration to the region of high solute concentration. However, reverse osmosis water filtration is a process, which is created artificially using pressure.You can read it it detail at Intec America.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
What is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration called?
Osmosis
What process occurs as water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane?
The answer for the crossword is "osmosis", although few people can understand the actual concept.
Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
How do cells use the process of osmosis and diffusion to take in nutrients and to get rid of wastes?
== == Diffusion is: the movement of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Osmosis is: the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.
What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.
What is the need for a semi permeable membrane?
we need a semipermeable membrane for a process called osmosis...

What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
