osmosis
it is osmosis
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
osmosis
Net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
water
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where it(water) is in higher concentration to where it(water) is in lower concentration.
Osmosis involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across the membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Osmosis is specifically the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. It is not involved in the diffusion of other substances like ions or solutes.
Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis is the term that describes the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. It involves the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
