Which term describes the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell?
Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
In diffiusion movement of particles across a membrane is drven by what differences?
In diffusion, the movement of particles across a membrane is driven by an electrochemical gradient-the ion's concentration gradient and the membrane potential. Substances will passively diffuse down their concentration gradient to where they are less concentrated. Since the inside of a cell is negative compared to its outside, the membrane potential will drive the passive transport of cations into the cell and anions out of the cell due to electrostatic attractions.
What is the process that moves particles from areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
What is net movement of particles from an area of higher concentrations to an area of low concentrations called?
Diffusion is the passive movements of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower concentration.
How do cells use the process of osmosis and diffusion to take in nutrients and to get rid of wastes?
== == Diffusion is: the movement of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Osmosis is: the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.
What does osmosis require?
Osmosis is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration accross a partially permeable membrane.
What is osmosis function?
This is the movement of water particles from an are of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a partially permeable membrane.
Define osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the random movement of particles across (through) a partially permeable membrane along a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion is the random movement of particles in a solution from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Eventually the particles will be uniformly and randomly distributed.
What is the similarities between osmosis and diffusion?
They both follow the concentration gradient i.e. require no energy for the process to occur. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. See Brownian motion. Osmosis is the movement of WATER particles across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to the lower concentration in the effort to reduce the solute concentration.
What is the movement of particles of a material from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration of that material?
DiffusionThe movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.
Which term describes the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell?
Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
How do osmosis and diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
How would diffusion differ from osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient

What is the process that moves particles from areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
How does investigating a factor that affects the movement of water and dissolved substances into and out of plant cells work?
osmosis it the movement of water particles going from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi permeable membrane
