Explain the relationship between diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration; osmosis is the same thing, but with water molecules, not other types of molecules.
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
Which kind of molecules is controlled by osmosis?
water molecules
What is osmosis on?
I am not sure what you mean.... but if you are asking what is used on osmosis, it is only water molecules. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a high concentration are to a low concentration area to make the amount of water molecules a little more equal.
What substance cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion?
Diffusion is when the particles of gas or any substance are spread out. Osmosis is two solutions are separated. Sugar molecules cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion.

How does reverse osmosis work?
Reverse osmosis filters certain types of molecules and ions by applying pressure on one side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis works by introducing a large amount of pressure to a solution to remove large molecules and/or ions completely. This process is similar to other osmosis exercises.
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
How does reversibility work?
Reverse osmosis filters certain types of molecules and ions by applying pressure on one side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis works by introducing a large amount of pressure to a solution to remove large molecules and/or ions completely. This process is similar to other osmosis exercises.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of?
Both are types of passive transport because they require no energy (ATP) to move molecules.
Which kind of molecules is controlled by osmosis?
water molecules
Describe several ways molecules are moved across a plasma membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport and active transport- which requires energy to work.
What types of solute molecules may be moved by facilitated diffusion?
Many polar molecules and ions with the assistance of transport proteins.
What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.
