Osmosis in a cell?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
What process occurs as water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane?
The answer for the crossword is "osmosis", although few people can understand the actual concept.
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.
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When a cell is placed in higher concentration of water then endosmosis of water in the cell takes place because in the cell water concentration is low and osmotic(solute) pressure is high so water moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration which means it moves inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid.
In osmosis explain why water moves toward a hypotonic area?
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration (less solute) to a region of lower water concentration (more solute). And since hypertonic means that there is more solute inside the cell, the solute will try to exit to balance the concentration.
Compare and contrast simple diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
How are facilitated diffusion and active transport different?
Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
Compare and contrast between osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
What is the process by which a substance moves from a level of higher concentration to a level of lower concentration?
Osmosis
Osmosis in cells?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
Osmosis in a cell?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
Where and when does diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.
What is it called When a nutrient moves from an area of higher concentration into an absorptive cell where the concentration is lower?
passive absorption
What process occurs as water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane?
The answer for the crossword is "osmosis", although few people can understand the actual concept.
Describe how water moves during?
From areas of higher concentration (of water) to lower concentration (of water) - ie it fills the space. That would mean that it would flow from a solution whose concentration of solute is higher to one where the solute concentration is lower.
What makes oxygen pass into the capillaries that surround these sacs?
Diffusion. O2 moves from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
What process moves materials through a cell from areas of low concentration to areas of higher concentration?
diffusion
