Well, I don't consider osmosis as a solvent. It's actually the movement of water through a partially membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential.

What moves across the membranes by osmosis?
Solvent
What is the difference between osmosis and dialysis?
Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.
What compound moves through cell membranes by osmosis?
The solvent, water.
Is it osmosis or diffusion if you put an egg in vinegar?
If you put an egg in vinegar, then this process would be called osmosis because osmosis is the movement of solvent particles (in this vinegar), while diffusion is the movement of gas, solute and solvent particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
How does osmosis form?
Osmosis is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent , but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree root splits a stone.
What moves across the membranes by osmosis?
Solvent
How is osmosis realted to diffusion?
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent
What is a process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution (of a solute) to a more concentrated solution (of the solute) through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent.
What is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cell by the process of osmosis?
I do think that the only universal solvent is WATER
Osmosis is a type of what process?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution (of a solute) to a more concentrated solution (of the solute) through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent.
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.
Does osmosis occur in dead cells?
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
What is a Reveres Osmosis?
reverse osmosismay be define as a separation operation involve transfer by concentration gradient of a solvent through membrane in to a mixture solute and solvent , the transfer of solvent in the opposite direction is effected by imposing the pressure . is known as reverse osmosis
What happen when solvent is equal to solute?
solution is in equilibrium and the solvent and solute continue diffusion or osmosis at an equal rate.
What is the difference between osmosis and dialysis?
Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.
The movement of which kind of molecule is controlled by osmosis?
The solvent, usually water.
What is passage of a solvent through semi permeable membrane called?
osmosis
