Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.

Is dialysis osmosis or diffusion?
Dialysis is the separation of particles in a liquid on the basis of differences in their ability to pass through a membrane. As a semi permeable membrane is involved, so it is an osmosis.
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.
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 a blood infusion and dialysis?
What is the difference between a blood transfusion and dialysis
What are the difference between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis?
hemodialysis takes longer than peritoneal dialysis
What is required for osmosis and dialysis?
a semi permeable membrane

What is difference between nanofiltration and reverse osmosis?
There is none
Can osmosis and diffusion can both occur at the same time through a dialysis membrane?
no
What is the difference between demineralize water and reverse osmosis water?
Nothing
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.
How does kidney dialysis use osmosis?
Actualy, it doesnt use osmosis at all. Diaysis is the opposite of osmosis many people tend to mix up the two. But during dialysis the transfer of paticles form a higher area of concetration move to an area of lower concetration. Dialysis is used i artificial kidney machiens because it will let salts and other small molecules that are dissolved in blood pass through the membranes of cells.
How can you tell if osmosis occurred in dialysis tubing?
Osmosis is usually detected by simply looking at the experiment - most of the time, enough water is transferred to cause a noticeable rise/fall in water levels. However, I assume you could tell through the usage of weighing scales - as water re-distributes, as would the weight.
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.
