What is the movement of particles of a material from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration of that material?
DiffusionThe movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.
What is the direction of net 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. The direction of movement is from area of higher water concentration to area of lower water concentration.
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 definition of osmosis?
The four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis. Passive transport is the movement of a substance across a cell membrane with its concentration gradient (from high to low concentration) and it uses no energy. Osmosis is a special term used when water is the substance being moved.
When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
This movement is called osmosis. It is a natural process where water molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Osmosis helps maintain equilibrium in cells by regulating the flow of water and nutrients.
What movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
How would diffusion differ from osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
Can you have diffusion without osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of any molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. so yes it is possible to have diffusion without osmosis.
COMPARE osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
What is the movement of materials form a region of higher concentration to a region of lower content?
diffusion
Movement of ions from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration via a process that does not require cellular energy is?
osmosis
How long does movement occur across a concentration gradient?
Movement across a concentration gradient occurs until equilibrium is reached, where the concentration of a substance is the same on both sides of the gradient. The rate of movement depends on factors such as the size of the gradient, temperature, and properties of the substance.
Which process would describe the movement of sugar molecules through a membrane from a region of higher concentration of a region of lower concentration?
Diffusion
How would you compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, while diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Both processes involve the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
Does some diffusion require energy?
No. Diffusion is a natural occurrence of the net movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (down the concentration gradient).
Which is correct regarding diffusion?
It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
What do you call the movement of molecules or atoms from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
The Atomic or Molecular movements generally known as Osmotic diffusion.
