What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
What is diffusion a natural movement of molecules from?
in the normal diffusion the substance move from the area of greater concentration to that of lower concentration. .... but i never know what do we mean be "faciliated" plz specify
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
facilatated diffusion
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
Is Diffusion made of small or large molecules?
Diffusion is not a substance. It is a physical process. Diffusion is the process where there is a movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce. A more technical definition would be: Diffusion is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
What is the difference of osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the process by which a substance passes through a membrane passively.Osmosis IS diffusion, just the substance involved is water.
Which process involves mass movement within a substance?
Diffusion involves mass movement of particles within a substance, where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to achieve equilibrium.
What is the process when a substance is spread through a gas?
Diffusion (technically molecular diffusion)
What is a process that spreads substances through a gas or liquid?
According to scientists, diffusion is responsible for spreading out of the particles of a gas or any substance such as liquid within a solution.
Diffusion is the movement of a substance?
from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis

What is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
facilatated diffusion
