How does diffusion and osmosis occur in the bloodstream?
niples
Can osmosis occur in the absence of menbrane?
Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs with a semi permeable membrane. It can therefore not occur without a membrane because that is what differentiates it from diffusion.
Can osmosis and diffusion can both occur at the same time through a dialysis membrane?
no
Can diffusion occur without membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules kineticly from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. Osmosis is the movement of molecules thru a membrane.
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 does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.

What is the difffrence between diffusion and osmosis?
1 diff. Semi permiable membrane is required in osmosis while it is not required in diffusion. 2 diff. Osmosis cn occur only in liquid medium while diffusion cn occur in all mediums.
How is osmosis related diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
What are the consequences for a cell if it cannot carryout osmosis and diffusion effectively?
The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways
Can osmosis and diffusion can both occur at the same time through a dialysis membrane?
no
Can osmosis occur across a room?
Osmosis is a transfer through a membrane, so I doubt it. You're likely thinking of diffusion.
Gas exchanges occur mainly by osmosis?
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
How does boiling a potato effect osmosis?
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
Where does diffusion occur in fish?
Fish use diffusion and osmosis to keep their tissue healthy. Diffusion starts in the gills and for some small molecules can happen in the gut walls as well.
Differentiate osmosis from diffusion?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the net movement of water through a partially permeable membrane, from a solution of less negative water potential, to a solution of more negative water potential. Both Diffusion and osmosis occur down the concentration gradient. Basically they are the same thing, but osmosis is the diffusion of water in solution, rather then gaseous diffusion. We use the term osmosis to differentiate between gaseous transport and water movement. hope it helps..
