What is the name for the movement of water across the plasma membrane?
The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. It occurs in response to concentration differences of solutes on either side of the membrane.
Does osmosis go with the concentration gradient?
Yes, osmosis involves the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. This movement occurs in response to the concentration gradient of water molecules.
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.
The movement of water molecules across selectively premeable?
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river. What takes place in the salmon's cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
The movement of water is called what?
osmosis
What makes osmosis a special kind of diffusion?
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. It occurs in response to concentration gradients, where water flows from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Unlike regular diffusion, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
Is movement of alcohol through cell membrane osmosis?
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
Does osmosis involve transport proteins?
No, osmosis does not involve transport proteins. Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. Transport proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport processes.
The equal movement of water from either side of a semipermeable membrane is known as what?
The movement of of a solute like water is called osmosis.
What is the movement of water through diffusion called?
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.
What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
