What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
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.
What moves during osmosis?
The molecules that are moving around.
What is summary of the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectivey permeable membrane. The molecules move from an area of high concentraion to an area of low concentration and vice-veca.
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
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.
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 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 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.
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.
What moves during osmosis?
The molecules that are moving around.
In what ways do molecules move?
it moves by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
Gas exchanges occur mainly by osmosis?
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
