Osmosis is the movement of water through a membrane.
A solvent, which is often water, from a higher water concentration to a lower water concentration across a selectively-permeable membrane. =) [my answer is better. jk]
The movement of water through diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
No, osmosis is a process that involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, but it can also involve the movement of other molecules dissolved in the water.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Essentially, diffusion involves the movement of any type of particle, whereas osmosis specifically focuses on the movement of water molecules.
The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
Osmosis does not require energy input, such as ATP, for the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Instead, it relies on the concentration gradient of solute molecules to drive the movement of water molecules.
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.
osmosis
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
Osmosis is the overall movement of water through a partially permeable membrane.

Osmosis
The movement of of a solute like water is called osmosis.
that happens when osmosis occurs
