Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.

What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
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 are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
What is the movement of water through diffusion called?
Osmosis is the movement of water across the cell membrane or the movement of water through diffusion. :)
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
What is the name of the diffusion of water?
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?

What is the function of osmosis?
The diffusion of water through the cell'smembrane is called osmosis (ahs MOH sis). A special kind of 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 diffusion of water through a cell membrane known as?
it is called Diffusion o Osmosis?
What is the movement of molecules from crowded areas to less crowded areas called?
Diffusion, in general. If it's applying to water it's called Osmosis.
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
