That would be osmosis, which is when items go from a low concentration to a high concentration.

What is one way that materials pass through the cell membrane that requires no energy from the cell?
A process that requires no energy input is passive.One passive process used by materials crossing a cell membrane is diffusion.Examples:oxygen diffuses through the phospholipid bilayer into a cell that is respiring aerobically.carbon dioxide diffuses out of cells through the phospholipid bilayer.Facilitated diffusion (diffusion through transport proteins: channel and carrier proteins) is a form of diffusion, and so it is also passive.Another passive process is osmosis. This is the process by which water crosses a cell membrane either into or out of the cell, but always into the solution that has the higher total concentration of solutes.
Osmosis can be defined as?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
Water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable membrane?
Water diffuses by facilitated diffusion, passing through water permeable protein channels embedded in the cell membrane. Water molecules can not pass through the lipid bilayer because water is polar. However, polar molecules pass though the cell membrane through the protein channels. The proteins that aid water in passing through the cell membrane are called aquaporins. "Aqua" for water, and "porin" for pore. A "water pore" in essence.
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.
How do plant cells react when they are placed in an environment with lower water concentration than inside of the cell?
The cells of a plant change shape depending on the availability of water. The cells and plant take measures to reduce the amount of water loss through their stomata and conserve the water they currently have.
The water in a cell does what?
diffuses in and out of the cell

How do unicellular get water?
Water diffuses across their cell membranes
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.

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
Why does a cell diffuse items into the cell?
The cell needs food and water so it diffuses it to maintain health.
When water diffuses into a plant cell and builds pressure?
tugor pressure
Which process is responsible for vegetables getting crispy when soaked in fresh water?
Osmosis causes vegetables in fresh water to crisp up. This is because the liquid in their cells contains dissolved substances. Water therefore diffuses in through the semipermeable cell membrane, causing the cells to become turgid.
What happens in a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell?
Oxygen diffuses through the cathode
