Diffusion is the net movement of particles(atoms,ions or molecules) from a region where are of higher concentration to a region where they are of lower concentration, down a concentration gradient.

Factors that affect the rate of diffusion

1.Temperature

2.the concentration gradient

3.Physical movement

4 surface area to volume ratio

The passage of water from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution across a partially permeable membrane is a process called osmosis

Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?

Aquaporins are involved in osmosis by facilitating the movement of water molecules across cell membranes. They do not participate in facilitated diffusion, which involves the transport of solutes across membranes with the help of carrier proteins.


Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?

Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
