Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Thus, it always involves 1) a selectively/differentially permeable membrane 2) difference in water potential(related to concentration gradient) 3)flow of water.

What osmosis involves . both water and oxygen water but not oxygen oxygen but not water neither water nor oxygen?
Osmosis need not involve either.
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
Is osmosis a type of passive transport involving elements such as calcium?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that involves elements such as calcium. The elements are moved from high concentration to low concentration.
What do osmosis involves?
Separation of a solution into its solvent and solute. It is done by use of a fine membrane and applied pressure.
Describe the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane. Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
Osmosis is more or less specialized then diffusion because it involves?
Osmosis only involves water.
How do you use osmosis in a sentence?
osmosis involves water passing in and out of the cell
What part of the cell involves osmosis?
Cell membrane.
Which process always involves the movement of materials from inside the cell to outside the cell A. Phagocytosis B. Endocytosis C. Diffusion D. Exocytosis E. Osmosis?
EXOCYTOSIS
In osmosis in the kidney of a mammal what substance is involved?
osmosis is always the diffusion of water
What osmosis involves . both water and oxygen water but not oxygen oxygen but not water neither water nor oxygen?
Osmosis need not involve either.
Why the osmosis involves the movement of molecules via special transport protein?
facilitated diffusion
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?

Is osmosis a type of transport involving elements such as calcium?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that involves elements such as calcium. The elements are moved from high concentration to low concentration.
Involves water moving across the plasma membrane to the side with the greater solute concentration?
Osmosis
What type of passive transport involves water molecules moving from high to a low concentration?
