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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the difference in concentration between a region of high concentration and one of lower concentration?
There is no exact number assigned to the difference between the higher and lower concentrations. However, the establishment of a concentration differential is essential for both diffusion as well as osmosis.
What is the movement of a molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration called?
Diffusion - which aims to create equilibrium (equal concentrations in both areas).
A high concentration gradient means that the concentration of a substance is?
significantly higher in one area compared to another, leading to a steep difference in concentration levels between the two areas. This gradient allows substances to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration through passive transport processes like diffusion or osmosis.
When molecules move from high concentration to low concentration this is called?
This is called diffusion. It is the process by which molecules spread out from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until they are evenly distributed.
Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration.?
That is incorrect. Osmosis actually causes water to move from areas of high water concentration to areas of low water concentration, in order to equalize the concentration of solutes across a semipermeable membrane.
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.
How does water move from areas of high concentration to low concentration?
Water moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane, from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. This movement occurs in order to equalize the concentration of water on both sides of the membrane.
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.
What are osmotic gradients?
When water flows from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration through semi-permeable membranes; down it'd concentration gradient.
Why does water lily grows only in water?
they grow in areas of extremely high water concentration.
What is the difference in concentration between a region of high concentration and one of lower concentration?
There is no exact number assigned to the difference between the higher and lower concentrations. However, the establishment of a concentration differential is essential for both diffusion as well as osmosis.
Can passive membrane transport processes include movement of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration?
No, passive membrane transport processes do not involve movement of substances from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. Instead, passive processes such as osmosis and diffusion move substances down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration without requiring energy input.
How does diffusion differ for osmosis?
Diffusion is when materials move from areas of high concentration (high amount) to areas of low concentration (low population).Osmosis is the same as diffusion, but it's only when WATER moves from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. STAY IN SCHOOL JUNIORS!!(and pee-wees too. . .)
How does water move from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential?
Water moves from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement occurs in order to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
How do particles move from areas from lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
