What is difference between nanofiltration and reverse osmosis?
There is none
What is the difference between demineralize water and reverse osmosis water?
Nothing
What is the difference between osmosis and dialysis?
Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.
Difference between osmosis and active transport?
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
What is the difference between osmosis and reverse osmosis?
Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.
How does tonicity relate to osmosis?
Tonicity refers to the measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions. The higher the difference in the tonicity between the two solutions, the more osmosis transpires.
What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
The difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis is the spreading of water from a high to low concentration while diffusion is the spreading of molecules or particles from a high to low co?
true
Difference between deffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the process in which particles move from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, again to equalise concentrations.
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Give the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
diffusion- it is the type of passing of liquid from one part to another. it has semi-permeable membrane to pass the liquid. osmosis-it is the type of passing liquid but it has no membrane.
What is The difference between osmosis and diffusion in cells?
Osmosis is a term applied to the movement of a solution to a zone with solutes.Diffusion is a term applied to a substance moving from a high concentration zone to a low concentration zone.
