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
What term refers to the movement of molecules of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
Osmosis
What term refers to the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
What is a Diffusion?
Movement of molecules of a substance from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration by their own kinetic energy is called diffusion.
The diffusion of wat?
Diffusion is the movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
Movement of molecules from high high to low concentration?
Movement of molecules 4m higher to lower concentration is called osmosis
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
When a solution as a greater concentration particles?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration. This is due to the random movement of the molecules.
What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?
diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Which terms refers to the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration an area of lower concentration?
Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
How is osmosis related to diffussion?
Diffusion -Movement of molecules(not water) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationOsmosis -Movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane.Similarities- both move from higher to lower concentration and both are examples of passive transport
What means from higher concentration to lower concentration?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules (only) from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.

Osmosis

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.
Diffusion is the movement of a substance?
from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What does osmosis do?
The random movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
