Osmosis is the passage of water from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
The direction of movement is from area of higher water concentration to area of lower water concentration.

Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.
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!
What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.

What are the characteristics of a osmosis?
osmosis is the net movement of particles through a partially permeable membrane.
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
What is osmosis?
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
What does osmosis have to do with water?
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.Osmosis takes place in WATER AND WATER ONLY!
What exists when no net change in concentration results from diffusion?
osmosis

What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
The net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
What is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
What is the amount of salt in something?
The amount of salt in a liquid can affect how osmosis occurs. Osmosis is a net movement of molecules due to the concentration present.
