What organelle involved the processes of osmosis an diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion take place across the plasma membrane, the outer "wall" of the cell. It is considered to be an organelle because it carries out a variety of functions. The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of a double layes of phosphorous and lipid molecules, known as the 'phospholipid bilayer'.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
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.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
In osmosis in the kidney of a mammal what substance is involved?
osmosis is always the diffusion of water
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.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What organelle involved the processes of osmosis an diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion take place across the plasma membrane, the outer "wall" of the cell. It is considered to be an organelle because it carries out a variety of functions. The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of a double layes of phosphorous and lipid molecules, known as the 'phospholipid bilayer'.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
Defusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is when there is lower concentration in one area than another so the particles that are in the area with higher concentration move to the area with lower concentration to make the concentration same in both areas. Osmosis is a type of diffusion but diffusion that only has water involved. So if there's no water... it's not osmosis. It's gotta be diffusion.
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
