Osmosis is the movement of water. The direction of water movement (osmosis) is from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to one of low water concentration (high solute concentration). For example, if a semipermeable membrane separates a 1M solution of sucrose from a 0.1 M solution of sucrose, the water will move from the side with 0.1 M to the side with 1 M sucrose. This is in an attempt to equalize the concentrations of solute on both sides.

What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
Osmosis?
Osmosis is
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
In which direction does osmosis occur?
Osmois is the continual movement of water from a higher solution of water content through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of lower water content. Therefore, ososis occurs in a downward direction from higher to lower water content.
Does water flow in or out in osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane until it is evenly spread. Depending on the concentration of the two solutions, water could flow in either direction, going from the one with MORE water to the one with LESS water.
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
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.
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
What is the direction of net osmosis?
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.
What direction does water travel in osmosis?
To an area of lower concentration to even the concentration of both sides out.
What is the direction of the water movement of animal cell?
Osmosis the the movement of water from where it is higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration.
The movement of the water across a membrane is termed?
The term used is osmosis. the direction of movement across the membrane is dependent on the concentration of solutes (known as the solute potential) which directly effects the osmotic potential.
Where does osmosis occurs in the circulatory system?
Our kidneys are the primary site of osmosis in our bodies. Under direction of the hypothalamus in the brain, the kidneys expel water and salt as necessary to maintain the optimal levels for the cells in our body to function.in short kidneys are the part of circulatory system where osmosis occur.
Water 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.

What is osmosis?
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
