No as long as the temperature is above absolute zero they do not stop. It simply means it reached equilibrium but the molecules are stillin motion.

When will water and solutes stop moving across a membrane?
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?
Diffusion occurs in equilibrium, which means the molecules still move in and out of the cell, but the net (overall, total) movement is 0.
Is Diffusion always from areas of greater to areas of lesser concentration?
During diffusion water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration, when it balances out it tends to stop.
Does water stop moving?
No, it does not, the molecules of a liquid are always consistently flowing, unlike a solid, & less aggressive than a gas molecule.
Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
When will water and solutes stop moving across a membrane?
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
Would you expect osmosis and diffusion to the stop when substances are evenly distributed?
You would expect it to be even, but it is not. Since there is energy in the cell, (which can also be heat) molecules will constantly be moving around the cell.
Does random movement of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
When equilibrium is reached, there is no net motion of molecules. This does not mean that no molecules are moving. In diffusion, this would mean there are equal molecules leaving as are entering.
When molecules are moving back and forth across the membrane will they ever stop moving?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the movement of molecules across the membrane will stop.
Do molecules stop moving after equilibrium is reached?
no,molecules do not stop. whether the change of concentration of the do not take place
What happens to the molecules if they freeze?
well obviously atoms cant stop moving even at absolute 0. so the molecules will simply slow down but it can never stop moving
Diffusion is the movement of molescules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from more concentrated to less concentrated. Think of pouring dye into water it spreads out from a dense concentration of dye to the water surrounding it with little or no die (less concentration). Once it diffuses evenly it reaches equilibrium. It does NOT however stop moving. Source: Biology major
When will water stop moving across the membrain'?
Water stops moving when the potential difference or the diffusion pressure becomes zero on both sides of the membrane.
When can it not get any colder?
absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecules stop moving.
What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?
The molecules of the gas will stop moving.
What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?
Diffusion occurs in equilibrium, which means the molecules still move in and out of the cell, but the net (overall, total) movement is 0.
Heat travels by conduction when the molecules stop moving around true or false?
true
