How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
What is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable memberane?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
Is a special type of diffusion that involves moving across a cell membrane?
osmosis is a special type of diffusion that involves water moving across a cell membrane hopefuly this helped :)
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
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 diffusion of water across the semipermeable?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
What is the diffusion of water molicules across a membrane?
Osmosis
What is the diffusion of water across a preamble membrane?
OSMOSIS
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
What is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable memberane?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?
Active Transport
What is the name for the diffusion water across a semipermeable membrane?
osmosis
What is the name for the diffusion of water across semipermeable membrane?
osmosis
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.
When do cells exchange materials across the cell?
A bilayer of phospholipids regulates cell traffic. There are five methods of transport across the membrane; diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, co transport and endocytosis/exocytosis.
