What type of diffusion moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi permeable membrane?
Osmosis is the type of diffusion that moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration).
What process occurs as water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the process that occurs when water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. In osmosis, water molecules pass through the membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides.
Does passive transport move up or down the concentration gradient?
Passive transport moves down the concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
In osmosis explain why water moves toward a hypotonic area?
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration (less solute) to a region of lower water concentration (more solute). And since hypertonic means that there is more solute inside the cell, the solute will try to exit to balance the concentration.
What do you understand from osmosis?
Osmosis is the process by which a solvent, such as water, moves through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, equalizing the concentrations on both sides. This creates a balanced solution across the membrane.
Compare and contrast simple diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
How are facilitated diffusion and active transport different?
Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
What type of diffusion moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi permeable membrane?
Osmosis is the type of diffusion that moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration).

Osmosis is the process that occurs when water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. In osmosis, water molecules pass through the membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides.
Compare and contrast between osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
What is the process by which a substance moves from a level of higher concentration to a level of lower concentration?
Osmosis
Osmosis in cells?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
Where and when does diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.
Describe how water moves during?
From areas of higher concentration (of water) to lower concentration (of water) - ie it fills the space. That would mean that it would flow from a solution whose concentration of solute is higher to one where the solute concentration is lower.
What makes oxygen pass into the capillaries that surround these sacs?
Diffusion. O2 moves from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
In the process known as osmosis what moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of concentration?
In osmosis, water molecules move through a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane.
What process moves materials through a cell from areas of low concentration to areas of higher concentration?
diffusion
