If it is water moving from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, the diffusion is called osmosis.

Is Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?

No, diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in order to reach equilibrium. It is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient.


How do osmosis differ from diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.


What means from higher concentration to lower concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules (only) from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.


What is the relattionship between osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion describes the movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce - or from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration Osmosis is diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane


Moving substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration requires . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport pinocytosis?

Active transport. This process uses energy to pump substances against their concentration gradient, allowing them to move from areas of lower concentration to 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.


Is a plant that contains chlorophyll a diffusion?

No. Diffusion is the process in which particles move from where they are in higher concentration to where they are in lower concentration.


What particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is driven by the natural tendency of particles to spread out and achieve equilibrium.


What is the movement of materials from a higher to a lower concentration?

The movement of materials from a higher concentration to a lower concentration is called diffusion. This process occurs spontaneously to reach equilibrium, where the concentration of the substance is the same throughout the system.


What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?

diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.


COMPARE osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.


Does diffusion move from higher concentrate to lower concentration?

Yes
