When will water stop moving across a membrane when the water concentration is equal on both sides.
osmosis stops when there is equal amount of concentration of water molecules on either sides of the semi permeable membrane. but due to higher osmotic pressure, turgor pressure and wall pressure, osmosis stops just before the concentrations become equal.
Must be that pressure is equal on both sides...
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. If no other factors are involved, the concentration in the higher region will fall and the concentration in the lower region will rise until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane. Diffusion will continue, but on average equal numbers of particles will diffuse in both directions during equal periods of time. This is called a dynamic equilibrium. For a basic introduction to diffusion see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/2diffusionandosmosisrev2.shtml For more detail see: http://www.blobs.org/science/article.php?article=20
The process of flux through a membrane helps substances move across biological barriers by allowing them to pass through the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement is driven by the natural tendency of substances to reach equilibrium, where the concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.
when net solute concentrations are equal on both sides of a semi permeable membrane its called isotonic
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
