In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
diffusion
The water inside the cell goes with the low concentration to reach equilibrium.

It is called osmosis
In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
Passive Transport.
Active transport.
Low to High would be "Active transport" if I remember Biology correctly. It requires Energy.
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
Yes. Active transport requires energy; it is transport from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Passive transport doesn't require energy; it is transport from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Water diffusing from a high to low area (osmosis) is called passive transport.
diffusion
In low concentrations, perhaps slightly. In high concentrations perhaps more so. But these effects would be rather slight. In practical daily situations:No
The process for moving cellular wastes across the cell membrane is known as active transport. Active transport is a source of energy that allows molecules to move from low concentrations to high concentrations, and provides the needed boost to move the molecules uphill.
Thesodium-potassium pump uses active transport to move 3 sodium ions to the outside of the cell for each 2 potassium ions that it moves in.
