Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.

Can phenolphthalein pass through a cell membrane?
Yes but not through simple diffusion
What are the properties of solutes that can cross a membrane by simple diffusion?
The size of the molecule. Usually if a membrane is semi - permeable (only allows some molecules through by simple diffusion) the molecule that will be allowed through most is H2O(water).
Where in the membrane does facilitated diffusion occur?
Diffusion will most likely to occur where there is a high concentration of gas or water then the particles distibute evenly to the area of low concentration. for example if you could smell a turkey cooking in the oven from upstairs without anyone telling you.
What is the movement of across the cell membrane using cell energy?
This type of movement is called simple diffusion.
How can oxygen cross the membrane?
By the process of simple diffusion.
The process by which simple sugar passes through a membrane is called?
diffusion
What moves small or lipid soluble solutes through the membrane?
The unassisted diffusion of solutes through the plasma membrane is called simple diffusion. Solutes transported this way are either lipi-soluble (fats, fat-soluble vitamins, oxygen, carbon dioxide) or small enough to pass through the membrane pores (some small ions such as chloride ions, for example).
Can phenolphthalein pass through a cell membrane?
Yes but not through simple diffusion
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..

What is a transport process by which gases move through a membrane?
Simple Diffusion
Compare and contrast simple diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
A type of passive diffusion where water moves through a semipermeable membrane toward an area of higher solute concentration is called?
I assume you're talking about Osmosis, but I believe there are actually other similar processes as well.
What moves products through a cell membrane?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. Diffusion moves non-polar molecules across the cell membrane down a concentration gradient. Osmosis moves water across the cell membrane through a channel formed by aquaporins called a protein channel, down the water potential gradient. Active moves the non-polar molecules against the concentration gradient, in contrast to diffusion. Lastly, facilitated diffusion moves polar molecules across the cell membrane through creating protein channels in the cell membrane from specific proteins. ETC, glucose transporters bind to form a protein channel for glucose to diffuse through, after which the proteins disperse. That should be all, hope it was of help!
What facilitates the diffusion of water across the cell membrane?
Osmosis is a type of simple diffusion in which water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusionare similar in that both involve.
