Osmosis
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.
facilitated diffusion
When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the process is called active transport.
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane, while diffusion is the movement of solids across a membrane Diffusion ordinarily does not require a membrane.The movement of particles of a substance by their own kinetic energy from their higher concentration to lower concentration is called diffusion.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Through passive transport
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.
diffusion
Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.
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.
