No, osmosis is the movement of water particles through a semi-permeable membrane, from a place where there is a high concentration of water, to where there is a lower concentration of water. It can be confusing, because when we talk about solutions we often refer to the concentration of the solute rather than the solvent.
For instance, if we have a cell containing cell sap with a high concentration of sugar, and a more dilute solution outside the cell, water will flow into the cell. If you think about the sugar, it might seem that particles are going to the more 'crowded' areas, but the important thing is the concentration of the molecules which are moving, i.e. the water molecules. A dilute solution of sugar has a higher concentration of water than a concentrated one.

What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
Passive transport that moves particles away from areas is called what?
Diffusion is the form of passive transport that moves particles away from areas with more particles into areas with fewer particles.
The movement of particals from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration is called?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of substances from lower to higher concentration across a semi permeable membrane that must have a specific protein carrier and cell expenditure of energy.
What is the eventual result of diffusion describe concentration prior to and at this point?
The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
What process that alows movement of gases and ions from areas of high consentration to low consentration?
Diffusion is the process that allows movement of gases and ions from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This process is driven by a concentration gradient.
What is the term for the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
who even knows!
What motion is the next movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
diffusion
When particles travel from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
diffusion
What is hypotenic?
the movement of particles from areas of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration.
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from area high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
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 motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
When ATP is used to move particles from areas of low cocentration to areas of high concentration is called?
Diffusion
What is a passive transport that moves particles away from areas with more particles into areas with fewer particles in order to spread them out?
This is called diffusion, but it is a purely statistical process - randomly moving particles have a higher probability of spreading from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration than the other way around, simply because there are more of them in the area of high concentration.
The movement of particles from areas of high concetration to areas of low concetration is called?
Active transport usually involves the movement of particles from high to low concentration.
What process moves materials through a cell from areas of the low concentration to Ares of high concentration?
Active transport if you are moving particles to increase the concentration. Or Osmosis if the particles transported are those of the solute to effectively reduce the concentration.
