What compound moves through cell membranes by osmosis?
The solvent, water.
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
How is osmosis a special kind of diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water only. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a membrane in order to create an equilibrium.
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 is active transport different then osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffraction of water through a permeable membrane using no energy, whereas active transport is the moving of particles across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Basically, Osmosis moves water with no energy. Active transport moves particles, in general, with the use of chemical energy like ATP.
What are the passive process that moves substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
How fluids move across capillary membranes?

What is the process which water moves across the cells membrane?
The water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the semi permiable membrane using osmosis.
What is it when water moves across a cell membrane?
Osmosis
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
