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.
What is the difference between osmosis and reverse osmosis?
Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.
How does water move in osmosis?
Osmosis moves a solvent (eg water) to balance the concentrations of solute either side of a semipermeable membrane. The solvent is not lost.If the concentration of a solution is higher on one side of the membrane than the other, then the water moves across the membrane from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side to dilute it until the concentrations on either side are equal.
What is methylchloroisothiazolinone?
It is a preservative with antibacterial and antifungal effects. In high concentrations it can cause chemical burns and it is a skin and membrane irritant.
The difference of diffusion and osmosis?
Osmosis takes place across a permeable membrane. The membrane seperates two compartments (for example, the inside of a cell from the outside), one of which has a heavier concentration of a solute (e.g., sodium or potassium ions) than the other. The solvent (usually water) travels across the membrane until the concentrations are at equilibrium. Diffusion is the passive scattering of a concentration of solute out into the solution. No membrane is required. It is just the second law of thermodynamics in action, that says that systems always act in such a way that order decreases and chaos, or entropy, increases. It proceeds until the solute has reached maximum dispersion. Osmosis is always the movement of water particles into and out of cells across the partially permeable membrane (or occasionally other semi-permeable materials). Any other substance being moved this way whether across a cell membrane or not is simply referred to as diffusion.

Tonicity best fits the single word you are looking for. One side is hypertonic and the other will be hypotonic.
