What else can I help you with?
How does oxygen cross a selectively permeable membrane?
diffusion
Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane?
it is osmosis
What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
When water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane?
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
How do particles move through a permeable membrane according to diffusion?
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
Osmosis involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across the membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
What is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
What term refers to diffusion of water molecules through a selectively preamble membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
