What can osmosis be described as?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
How does osmosis work?
Osmosis is the diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. It works by moving the water molecules to the place of low concentration until it reaches equilibrium. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area through a partially permeable membrane
Why is diffusion of water vapour not an example of osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules but water must also be in the liquid state and move across a semi-permeable membrane. Water as water vapour acts like a gas so this cannot be called osmosis.
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What can osmosis be described as?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
Movement of water molecules across the membrane is the result of?
osmosis
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane?
it is osmosis
How does the Transport of molecules across the cell membrane take place?
osmosis
The movement of water molecules across a selectivly permeable membrane is known as?
Osmosis
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable is called?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What two processes move large packets of molecules across the cell membrane?
osmosis and diffusion
What does the net flow of water molecules in osmosis depend on?
The magnitude of the concentration gradient across the membrane.
Osmosis is a special kind of?
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weak to a strong solution of sugars, usually across a semi-permeable membrane.
