What is the process of water moving from an area of low salute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
Water does flow to a region of more concentrated solute, by the process of osmosis.
The net flow of molecules from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions is?
Osmosis
What allows water to flow into the roots of a plant?
osmosis
What transport mechanisms involves the movement of water in a cell?
The membrane of a cell is semipermeable. Water and small molecules flow freely into and out of the cell. There is no transport mechanism. The fluidity of the membrane designated by the fluid mosaic model, allows for water to flow freely into and out of the cell.
In which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?
Ice can float on liquid water.
What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.
Which molecule is most likely to cause osmosis in the body?
The small molecules like those of water will most likely cause osmosis n the body. This will happen when water flow through the membrane.
What is the process of water moving from an area of low salute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
Water does flow to a region of more concentrated solute, by the process of osmosis.
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
The net flow of molecules from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions is?
Osmosis
What is it called when water diffuses across a cell membrane?
Passive molecular diffusion. The Cell can't be compared to a hollowed out potato! Meaning that the osmotic flow of water into the sugar filled potato interior pool is unidirectional; while the Cell may control the flow of water, in or out, depending upon it's needs.
Water spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?

What allows water to flow to the roots of plants?
osmosis
What allows water to flow into the roots of a plant?
osmosis
How do diffusion and osmosis differ from one another?
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
What is the process that cause water to flow into contractile vacuoles?
Osmosis .
