Low to High would be "Active transport" if I remember Biology correctly. It requires Energy.
Diffusion is the passive movements of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Osmosis requires a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane, that allows water molecules to pass through while blocking the passage of solute molecules. It also requires a concentration gradient, with higher concentrations of solute on one side of the membrane compared to the other, to drive the movement of water molecules.
Active transport is the movement of particles across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient with the help of energy. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, and osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane. This process helps maintain the balance of water and solutes in cells and tissues, allowing them to function properly.
Diffusion
DiffusionThe movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.
Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. When there are different concentrations on either side, the water moves from the side that has the least concentration of solute to the side with the higher concentration of solute. So a different solute concentration drives osmosis.
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.
Yes, dynamic equilibrium in the context of a cell refers to a state where there is continuous movement of particles across the cell membrane, resulting in no net change in concentration. This occurs due to diffusion, where particles move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. While individual particles are constantly moving in and out, the overall concentrations remain stable, indicating a balance or equilibrium.
In diffusion, movement of particles across a membrane is driven by differences in concentration gradients, which is the difference in concentration of a substance on either side of the membrane. Particles naturally move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
Osmosis occurs across semi-permeable membranes, which allow the movement of solvent molecules (such as water) but not solute particles (such as ions or larger molecules). This process is driven by the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This movement is driven by the goal of achieving equilibrium in solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
