Osmosis and diffusion take place across the plasma membrane, the outer "wall" of the cell. It is considered to be an organelle because it carries out a variety of functions. The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of a double layes of phosphorous and lipid molecules, known as the 'phospholipid bilayer'.

Which organelle is involved in osmosis and diffusion?
plasma membrane
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
Why are Osmosis and Diffusion important processes in cellular function?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
What is the difference between the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permable membrance.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Which organelle is involved in osmosis and diffusion?
plasma membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Why are the processes of diffusion and osmosis are important?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
What drives the processes of diffusion and osmosis?
balance of the elements
In osmosis in the kidney of a mammal what substance is involved?
osmosis is always the diffusion of water
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What are Passive processes that move substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
What two processes transport materials through the semi-permable membrane?
Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).
What is the difference of osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the process by which a substance passes through a membrane passively.Osmosis IS diffusion, just the substance involved is water.
Which of the following processes cause substances to move across membranes and doesent require energy ATP?
diffusion or osmosis (diffusion of water)
What two processes move large packets of molecules across the cell membrane?
osmosis and diffusion
