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.
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..
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.
Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Diffision is the net movement of molecules from an area where there are many to an area where there are few. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane. Both use each other because diffision is what happens in an osmosis.
What exists when no net change in concentration results from diffusion?
osmosis

What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.

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 net movement of substances across plasma membrane without additional energy?
Diffusion. With the need of energy, it would be called active transport.
How is omosis defined?
Osmosis is the diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane.
What exists when no net change in concentration results from diffusion?
osmosis
What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
Is diffusion of water is called osmosis?
Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.
What is osmosis?
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
