Passive molecular diffusion. The Cell can't be compared to a hollowed out potato! Meaning that the osmotic flow of water into the sugar filled potato interior pool is unidirectional; while the Cell may control the flow of water, in or out, depending upon it's needs.

What is istotonic?
We generally use the term "tonic" when referring to the effects of osmosis across a real biological membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. We usually have osmosis when the concentration of solutes on each side of the membrane are different so water diffuses from the side with lower solute concentration to the side with higher concentration and this usually continues until we have equilibrium and no more water diffuses across. This environment is called an isotonic environment. ("iso" is Greek for similar or equal)
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
osmosis
Ions cannot cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane?
Water diffuses across the plasma membrane, and this can affect cell size and .... proceeds, the different type cells of the embryo develop their ... or ion so that it can cross the plasma .... molecules cannot cross the membrane because they are un- able to ... plasma membrane and the back and forth arrows indicate that these.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
What is it called when water diffuses across a membrane?
osmosis i think

What is the transport of water across the cell membrane called?
Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
What is the process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called?
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to an area of low solvent potential, up a solute concentration gradient.
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
How do unicellular get water?
Water diffuses across their cell membranes
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
osmosis
What is the process in which water diffuses across the cell membrane of an animal cell membrane of an animal cell from a region concentration to a region of low concentration?
Osmosisdiffusion deals with anything moving from high to low concentrations while osmosis is specifically water
How mammals get water into their cells?
Water diffuses freely across the plasmalemma.
What is the diffusion of water across a selectively premeable membrane called?
It is osmosis .
