What is the process that moves particles from areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
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.
What are the two movement of homeostasis?
Which molecule moves to high concentration to low concentration
The net movement of water across a membrane from the solution of lower concentration to one of higher concentration is called?
This is referred to as OSMOSIS. When you say "solution of lower concentration" this implies the solute concentration is low, thus water concentration is high. So, osmosis is movement of water from a high concentration of water, to a lower concentration of water, just to be clear.
What is the process that moves particles from areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
Define osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the random movement of particles across (through) a partially permeable membrane along a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion is the random movement of particles in a solution from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Eventually the particles will be uniformly and randomly distributed.
How do particles move from areas from lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration
What is diffussion and osmosis?
The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion in terms of solute and solvent?
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (ex. tea flavoring moving from an area of high to low concentration in hot water.)
Diffusion is when particles what and what by themselves?
diffusion is really the random movement of either liquid or gas molecules, which results in the particles seemingly moving from a high concentration to a lower concentration, until the area has an equal concentration
Osmosis is a type of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, until the concentration of fluids on both sides of the membrane is equivalent.
What is the direction of osmosis?
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.
Movement of molecules from high high to low concentration?
Movement of molecules 4m higher to lower concentration is called osmosis
