What is the phenomenon that explains the movement of any kind of molecule from areas of higher concentration to ones of lower concentration?

Diffusion is the phenomenon that explains the movement of any kind of molecule from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This process occurs due to the random motion of molecules and is driven by the concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium.


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.


IS The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called diffusion?

No, the movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is not called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called filtration. Filtration is a passive process driven by the pressure difference across a membrane.


Osmosis concerns the movement of what?

Osmosis concerns the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. It is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient, where water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What is the movement of substance from a region of lower concentration to a region higher concentration?

This process is known as active transport. It requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Examples include the sodium-potassium pump in cells.

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


What is the difference through between osmosis and Diffusion?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles (such as ions, molecules, or gases) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Thus, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules, while diffusion refers to the movement of any type of particle.


What is the movement of materials from a higher to a lower concentration?

The movement of materials from a higher concentration to a lower concentration is called diffusion. This process occurs spontaneously to reach equilibrium, where the concentration of the substance is the same throughout the system.


Difusion is the movement of particles from an area of?

higher concentration to a area of lower concentration


What is the direction of the water movement of animal cell?

Osmosis the the movement of water from where it is higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration.


What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?

diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.


What is the next movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

Diffusion


What describes the movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration?

You think probable to diffusion.


How does the particle theory explain osmosis?

The particle theory explains osmosis as the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration. This movement occurs due to the random motion of water molecules seeking to achieve equilibrium in water concentration on either side of the membrane.


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


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.
