How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
Do Molecules naturally move from areas of low concentration to high concentration?
Molecules tend to move into areas where there are less molecules. This is called diffusion and can happen with or without energy.
Is osmosis diffusion through water?
yes osmosis is diffusion through water diffusion is a random movement of molecules from a high area of pressure to a low area of pressure
The natural tendency of molecules to move from higher to lower concentrations is what?
When molecules of water move from high to low concentration, it is referred to as OSMOSIS.When solute molecules move from high to low concentration, it is referred to as DIFFUSION.
The spread of molecules throughout an area?
i think is the isotonic .. Diffusion is the spread of molecules. Osmosis is the movement across water.
Which homeostatic process is characterized by the diffusion of water molecules?
The homeostatic process is characterized by the diffusion of water molecules is called osmosis. The special case of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a membrane.Ê
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 term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis

Diffusion is defined as a movement of molecules?
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
The tendency of molecules to move along their concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration?
Diffusion generally and called osmosis for the diffusion of water.
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
Do Molecules naturally move from areas of low concentration to high concentration?
Molecules tend to move into areas where there are less molecules. This is called diffusion and can happen with or without energy.
What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.
What is osmois?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules.
Diffusion of water molecules?
Happens a lot.
What is a movemnt of water molecules through a seletively perneable cell membrane?
This special type of diffusion is called osmosis.
