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 is the movement of water across a membrane?
Active transport
What is the movement of water across the membrane?
Active transport
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable is called?
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
What is the pasive transpart of water through a membrane called?
The passive transport of water through a biological membrane is called osmosis.
What is a passive tranport of water by diffusion?
Passive transport of water by diffusion is the movement of water molecules across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without the use of energy. This process occurs through specialized channels called aquaporins, which allow water to move freely across the cell membrane.
One form of passive transport that takes place across a membrane that lets water pass but keeps out many things that are dissolved in the water is called?
This is called osmosis since it deals with the passive movement of water.
The movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane is called what?
This process is called osmosis. It is a type of passive transport where water molecules move across a membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on either side.
What is the function of a transport protien?
it helps move certain substances such as water and sugar across the membrane.
What is the name for the movement of water access the plasma membrane?
The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. Water moves from where it is in higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive transport and does not require any energy expenditure by the cell.
How is passive transport different then active transport?
Passive transport does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy (usually in the form of ATP) to move molecules against the concentration gradient.
Is enewrgy required for the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane?
No. Osmosis is a form of passive transport.
