How are concentration gradients maintained for diffusion?
Passive transports such as diffusion and osmosis move down their concentration gradients.
Substances tend to move according to their concentration gradients by the process of?
Process of diffusion. Called osmosis for the process with water.
How does gradient affect diffusion?
A concentration gradient is a difference in concentration across a space. It affects diffusion and osmosis because both of these passive transports move down their concentration gradients, or from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
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.
Is diffusion the same thing as Osmosis?
They are similar. Diffusion refers to a movement from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water.
How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What is a sentence with the words diffusion and osmosis?
Osmosis is the mechanism by which diffusionacross a cell membrane occurs when there is a concentration gradient from one side of the membrane to the other.Osmosis and Diffusion are extremely similar because they both involve molecules moving from a high to low concentration to reach equilibrium.Diffusion and osmosis are the same in that they both move down their gradients to cause substances to be evenly distributed.
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
The roles of Osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion - the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis - the diffusion of water (across a membrane)
Compare and contrast simple diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
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.
