Diffusion is the movement of water from a higher concentration of water to a lower. Osmosis is a special form which requires a cell membrane.

∙ 12y agoThis is called Osmosis.
Also the movement is down a concentration gradient, through a selectively permeable membrane.

Is movement of a substance down its concentration gradient a passive transport?
yes, Movement of substance down its concentration gradient is a passive transport because it going from high concentration to a low concentration, so it does not require any energy.
What is moving down the concentration gradient in all cells?
All small molecules can move down the concentration gradient as water O2, CO2 etc.
The generation of ATP by the movement of protons down their concentration gradient occurs in?
Cellular respiration.
What is the meaning of 'down the concentration'?
Do you mean "down the concentration gradient"?
How does diffusion occur most rapidly- with or against the concentration gradient?
Diffusion only occurs down a concentration gradient. Put a drop of food coloring in a glass of water - you will never see the food coloring spontaneously concentrate. It will always spread down the gradient.
Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs from what?
It depends on the concentration of the water. Through osmosis, water will move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, or down a concentration gradient.
Movement of a substance down the substance's concentration gradient?
diffusion
What is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
Is movement of a substance down its concentration gradient a passive transport?
yes, Movement of substance down its concentration gradient is a passive transport because it going from high concentration to a low concentration, so it does not require any energy.
What is the movement a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
Is the movement of a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What is the process that moves particles from areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
What does it means if a substance moves down its concentration gradient?
If a substance moves down its concentration gradient, it means that it is moving from an area where it has a high concentration to an area where it has a low concentration. This is known as diffusion.
How would diffusion differ from osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
What is moving down the concentration gradient in all cells?
All small molecules can move down the concentration gradient as water O2, CO2 etc.
How do particles move from areas from lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?
The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
