Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
When hydrostatic pressure forces water across a membrane passively the process is called?
It's called Filtration
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
What process occurs as water moves from regions of higher water concentration to regions of lower water concentrtion across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution is water the only thing diffusing or will the salt diffuse as well in an attempt to achieve equilibrium?
Just the water moves across the cell membrane in a process called osmosis
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?
Active Transport
Which process describes the pushing of water across the capillary (blood vessel) membrane?
Osmosis
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
What is the process which water moves across the cells membrane?
The water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the semi permiable membrane using osmosis.
What is the process by which water is purified by pressurizing it and forcing it across a membrane?
A+ reverse osmosis

The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
What substance undergoes osmosis?
Water moves across the cell membrane through the process of osmosis.
When hydrostatic pressure forces water across a membrane passively the process is called?
It's called Filtration
What is the transport of water across the cell membrane called?
Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
