What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
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.
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.
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 is osmosis gradient?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.

Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?

What is diffusion of oxygen all about?
Diffusion is the main method by which molecules move across the cell membrane. during diffusion, molecules move from an area of higher concentration, to an area of lower concentration. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the transport of water from an area of high concentration, to an area of low concentration water moves inside and inside of the cell membrane by osmosis. osmosis is the diffusion of water!
What two processes move large packets of molecules across the cell membrane?
osmosis and diffusion
How do water molecules move during osmosis?
Water molecules move from the region of high concentration to region of low concentration. No ATP spent in such a process. In purification of water reverse osmosis is used.
What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.
What is the term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable?
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.

How do molecules move by passive transport?
During passive transport. The particles do this with out energy. During osmosis is also passive tranport. Active transport uses energy or ATP.
How fluids move across capillary membranes?
Osmosis.
