Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.

What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
Why does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of?
water across a concentration gradient
Does osmosis require a carrier?
NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier

How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
Does osmosis work with or against the concentration gradient?
against the gradient
What is the movement of water across a concentration gradient called?
Its called as Osmosis
What is the term for the Diffusion of water across the concentration gradient?
Osmosis
Osmosis is defined as the movement of?
water across a concentration gradient
Why does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
Does osmosis require a carrier?
NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
What are the factors that affect the rate of osmosis?
The rate of osmosis is dependent on factors such as temperature, particle size (surface area), and the concentration gradient and time given for osmosis to occur
What is the name of the process by which water moves into the root hairs?
Its not really by a process of osmosis. It is more by active transport. And the different concetration gradient in the soil and in the roots.
