What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What term describes the process of water molecules moving through a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
DIFFUSION
What is it called when water molecules move from low concentration of solutes to high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
Movement of molecules from high high to low concentration?
Movement of molecules 4m higher to lower concentration is called osmosis
The movement of water from an high concentration to an area of low concentration is called?
The movement of WATER from a high concentration area to a area of low concentration is called osmosis, but the the movement of MOLECULES from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration (like perfume when you spray from a high place) causes it to diffuse.
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What term describes the process of water molecules moving through a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
DIFFUSION
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
Is this true or false Osmosis is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
True
What is the difference between diffusion or osmosis?
Diffusion is the process of air particles or molecules that moves from a point of higher concentration to point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally distributed among the particular area ,Osmosis is the process of water particles from a point of higher concentration to a point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally balance on each side of the membrane.
What process is described as being the net movement of water molecules from an area of low concentration of solute to an area with a higher concentration of solute?
Osmosis
What is it called when Water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable or selectively permeable is called?
The process fo Osmosis.
Which process would be describe the movement of sugar molecules through membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What is the relationship for diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is a process in which solute molecules move from higher concentration towards lower concentration. While in case of Osmosis, the water moves towards highest solute concentration in a semi-permeable membrane.
Can you have diffusion without osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of any molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. so yes it is possible to have diffusion without osmosis.
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.
