NO, They are very different, just opposite of each other
Osmosis is when a solvent (like water) moves through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low concentration, to a solution with high concentration.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules in a solvent, from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by random molecular motion.
What else can I help you with?
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?
Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.
Osmosis is a type?
of diffusion (of water)
How do diffusion and osmosis differ from one another?
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
What is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable memberane?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
What is the term for the diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane?
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.
How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What is a type of diffusion in which water passes through a cell membrane?
Osmosis
Is diffusion the same thing as Osmosis?
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
What is a synonym for osmosis?
assimilation , diffusion , passage
What is the diffusion of water across the semipermeable?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
