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.
Does osmosis require a carrier?
NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier
Difusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is basically the movement of any particles form a higher area of concentration to a lower area of concentration. For example, A ink blob placed in water will gradually spread out. Osmosis refers specifically to the Diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane. (For example, Water moving through the celll membrane) Hope this helps!
What is the most common form of passive transport?
Diffusion and Osmosis
Is osmosis trans active?
Osmosis is a passive form of diffusion as it travels downa concentration gradiant, as opposed to active transport; a type of diffusion that can go against a conc. grad.
A special form of diffusion that applies only to water?
Osmosis refers to water going across a membrane. It is the same as the diffusion of any other chemical, but this term designates only the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is a special form of?
Osmosis is a special form of diffusion in that it brings water into a cell, rather than nutrients & other substances.
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 does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
Movement of water down its concentration gradient?
Diffusion is the movement of water from a higher concentration of water to a lower. Osmosis is a special form which requires a cell membrane.
When you breathe on mirror water droplets form this is an example of?
diffusion
What term refers to the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
Absorbtion of water by plant is an example of?
Absorption of water by plants is a form of diffusion called osmosis.
Why is osmosis special type of diffusion?
Osmosis is considered a specialised type of diffusion because it ONLY involves water passing from a region of high water potential to an area of low water potential through a partially-permeable membrane. Osmosis takes place primarily in our small intestines, where water is absorbed.
What are molecules that tend to move form an area of high concentration?
Diffusion is the general term. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane.
What form of diffusion cannot be transmitted by media?
relocation diffusion
Is a specialized form of diffusion and diffusion is a type of passive transport.?
membrane
