Osmosis is the mobement of water molecules from a region where they are a high water potential to a region where there is a low water potential across a selectively permeable membrane until uniformity is reached.

How is osmosis similar to simple diffusion?

Osmosis and simple diffusion both involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the need for energy input. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, while simple diffusion can involve any type of molecules diffusing through a membrane.


A type of passive diffusion where water moves through a semipermeable membrane toward an area of higher solute concentration is called?

I assume you're talking about Osmosis, but I believe there are actually other similar processes as well.


What is the relationship between osmosis and diffusion by definition what is the only substance that can carry out osmosis?

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that involves the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Water is the only substance that carries out osmosis due to its ability to move freely through the membrane.


Do osmosis has a high or low concentration?

As per Definition of 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". Thus, Osmosis do have an area of high and low concentration of water solutions.


Best definition of osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane, in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.

How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?

Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
