Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
When water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane?
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
Which term refers to the diffusion of water molecules through a slestively permaeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
What is the process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called?
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to an area of low solvent potential, up a solute concentration gradient.
What is an example of active transport through a cell membrane?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
What type of membrane is required for osmosis?
A selectively permeable membrane

The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable is called?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What can osmosis be described as?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is a selectlively permeable membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis
How do you define osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in a response to gradients of concentration, pressure, or temperature. I got this from my Biology textbook.
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane?
it is osmosis
What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
The net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
What is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
What is osmisis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
How is osmosis defined?
as diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
