Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.

What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?

The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.


What is the name of the diffusion of water?

Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.


What is the diffusion of water molecules called?

The diffusion of water molecules is called osmosis. This process involves the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What is the movement of molecules from crowded areas to less crowded areas called?

Diffusion, in general. If it's applying to water it's called Osmosis.


What is the movement of water through diffusion called?

The movement of water through diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane.


What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?

Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.


What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?

The diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the 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.
