What facilitates the diffusion of water across the cell membrane?
Osmosis is a type of simple diffusion in which water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusionare similar in that both involve.
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?
Active Transport
When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
When a region of higher concentration to a region of Lower concentration against the gradient which requires Energy is called Active Transport
What name is given to the process by which substances pass into or out of a cell from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
diffusion
Movement of water down its concentration gradient?
Diffusion is the movement of water from a higher concentration of water to a lower. Osmosis is a special form which requires a cell membrane.
Does osmosis require a carrier?
NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier
What is osmosis gradient?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.
What term describes the diffusion of the water through a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradient?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane
Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
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
Is a osmosis a diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
The tendency of molecules to move along their concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration?
Diffusion generally and called osmosis for the diffusion of water.
