What movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
What is difference between osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion is the movement of particles form a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. whereas osmosis is the movement of WATER MOLECULES from a region of higher WATER POTENTIAL to a region of lower WATER POTENTIAL through a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE. :D
Movement of ions from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration via a process that does not require cellular energy is?
osmosis
What is chemical diffusion?
It is the passive movement of chemicals from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
What is movement of solute from one region of high concentration to one of lower concentration called?
Are called osmosis
In osmosis explain why water moves toward a hypotonic area?
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration (less solute) to a region of lower water concentration (more solute). And since hypertonic means that there is more solute inside the cell, the solute will try to exit to balance the concentration.
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.
What is the movement of substance from a region of lower concentration to a region higher concentration?
Active transport
What movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
How would diffusion differ from osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
Is it osmosis or diffusion if you put an egg in vinegar?
If you put an egg in vinegar, then this process would be called osmosis because osmosis is the movement of solvent particles (in this vinegar), while diffusion is the movement of gas, solute and solvent particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Describe the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Is a osmosis a diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
What is difference between osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion is the movement of particles form a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. whereas osmosis is the movement of WATER MOLECULES from a region of higher WATER POTENTIAL to a region of lower WATER POTENTIAL through a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE. :D
Can you have diffusion without osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of any molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. so yes it is possible to have diffusion without osmosis.
