What types of molecules are moved in osmosis?
osmosis is the diffusion of particles through a semi-permiable membrane
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Diffusion is the movement of a sustance?
Diffusion is the movement of particles in a substance through a semi permeable membrane. Osmosis is similar but only involves water particles passing through a semi permeable membrane.
What is the opposite of osmosis?
Because diffusion is the movement of solute particles while osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.

How do cells use the process of osmosis and diffusion to take in nutrients and to get rid of wastes?
== == Diffusion is: the movement of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Osmosis is: the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.
What is the process by which tiny particles can pass through the cell membrane?
Small particles can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion. If the particles are water, the process is given a special name: osmosis.
What is the name of the diffusion of water?
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
Is dialysis osmosis or diffusion?
Dialysis is the separation of particles in a liquid on the basis of differences in their ability to pass through a membrane. As a semi permeable membrane is involved, so it is an osmosis.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
How do particles move through a permeable membrane according to diffusion?
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
