It depends on what your comparing it to. Say there is a paint ball 60% water and 40% other and the glass of water it is in is 75% water and 25% other. The glass of water would have a higher concentration than the paint ball. The water in the glass will go into the paint ball making it enlarge, called osmosis. Osmosis is when water goes through an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, like when the water went into the paint ball. This made the concentration levels even. I hope I didn't make your brain explode, I just took a class on this about 3 days ago.
What else can I help you with?
Is the movement of water in a hypertonic solution from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is a special form of diffusion where water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration?
This is not special at all, it is what happens normally. You can also think of it as water moving down a solute gradient (from low solute concentration to high solute concentration, till the concentrations are the same. The name for this process is osmosis.
The movement of water from an high concentration to an area of low concentration is called?
The movement of WATER from a high concentration area to a area of low concentration is called osmosis, but the the movement of MOLECULES from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration (like perfume when you spray from a high place) causes it to diffuse.
What is the process of water moving from an area of low concentration to an area high of high solute concentration?
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
How does water move between areas of high and low concentration?
Water moves between areas of high and low concentration through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs in order to equalize the concentration of water on both sides of the membrane.
Is osmosis high to low or low to high concentration?
Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
Do osmosis has a high or low concentration?
As per Definition of osmosis: "Osmosis is the passage of water from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration". Thus, Osmosis do have an area of high and low concentration of water solutions.
What is the process of water from an area of low solute concentration to an high solute of high concentration?
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
The net movement of water across a membrane from the solution of lower concentration to one of higher concentration is called?
This is referred to as OSMOSIS. When you say "solution of lower concentration" this implies the solute concentration is low, thus water concentration is high. So, osmosis is movement of water from a high concentration of water, to a lower concentration of water, just to be clear.
Is the movement of water in a hypertonic solution from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of solutes to high concentration solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of a solutes to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of solutions to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is the movement of water through a membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water to an area of low concentration of water.
Why does the cell give off water in a high salt solution?
The concentration of the water determines the rate of diffusion. A higher concentration of water will be transported to an area with a lower concentration, via the concentration gradient. In a high salt solution, the concentration of the water is higher in the cell, and so the water is diffused through the cells semi-permeable membrane into the high salt solution, to try to stabilise the concentration differential.
What is it called when water molecules moves from low concentration of solutes to high concentrations of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is a special form of diffusion where water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration?
