What is the difference between the processes of osmosis and diffusion?

∙ 13y ago
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permable membrance.

What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
Why are Osmosis and Diffusion important processes in cellular function?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
osmosis
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Why are the processes of diffusion and osmosis are important?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
What drives the processes of diffusion and osmosis?
balance of the elements
The difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis is the spreading of water from a high to low concentration while diffusion is the spreading of molecules or particles from a high to low co?
true
What cause certain things to enter cell?
Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
How osmosis differs from diffusions?
both are the same processes but the difference is that , in osmosis there is a need of semi permeable membrane for the results whereas there is no need of this in diffusion bcoz it took place directly....................
Difference between deffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the process in which particles move from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, again to equalise concentrations.
Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What are Passive processes that move substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
