What is the diffusion of water of another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent?
OSMOSIS
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which water moves from a solution containing a low concentration of solute to what kind of solution?
a solution containing a high concentration of solute

a solution containing a high concentration of solute
Does osmosis require a semipermeable membrane?
Semi permeable membrane means a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule to pass through them. Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. So the membrane should be semi-permeable so as to only allow the movement of H2O molecules and not the other molecules of the mixture.
Does osmosis have amino acids or sugar in it?
Osmosis is a process. It does not contain anything. This process is triggered by the unequal concentrations of water, i.e. if a solution with high concentration of salt in it is bordered with a solution with low concentration of salt (if a solution is water it can be considered as 100% water solution, if it is, for example, 5% sugar solution, it can be considered as 95% water solution). So, water molecules move to the side with lower water concentration. Impertant: for only osmosis to happen, the wall between two solutions must be permeable only for water molecules. If it is also permeable for other substances they will also try to equalize their concentrations on the both side by move to the side where their concentration is less, and THIS IS CALLED diffusion.
What is the diffusion of water of another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent?
OSMOSIS
A balloon permeable to water but not to glucose contains a 10 percent glucose solution A beaker contains a 5 percent glucose solution the solution in the balloon is what?
the solution in the balloon is hypertonic relative to the solution in the breaker. is this true
What is the best description of osmosis?
Osmosis is a proces of transfer of a diluted solution in the zone of a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane.

Is it true that a solution can not be separated furthur by physical means?
No, it is not true.A solution can be separated by reverse osmosis; you need a semi-permeable membrane and a means to apply pressure.
What are facts about osmosis?
Osmosis is the process where Water Molecules move from a solution with a Higher Water Potential to a solution with a Lower Water Potential through a Partially Permeable Membrane.
What is a process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution (of a solute) to a more concentrated solution (of the solute) through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent.
What facts about osmosis?
Osmosis is the process where Water Molecules move from a solution with a Higher Water Potential to a solution with a Lower Water Potential through a Partially Permeable Membrane.
Osmosis and active transport?
Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, typically with the help of carrier proteins. Both processes play crucial roles in maintaining cell homeostasis and ensuring proper nutrient uptake and waste removal.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
When comparing two solutions the solution with greater concentration is?
It often depends. The one with more solute has a higher concentration of solute than the other. In pertaining to osmosis, the hypotonic (or hypoosmotic) solution has less solute and more water over a semi-permeable membrane where the hyperotonic (or hyperosmotic) solution has more solute and less water over a semi-permeable membrane.
