Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.Osmosis takes place in WATER AND WATER ONLY!

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.


What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.


What substance moves by osmosis?

What is the name of the diffusion of water?

Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
