Along with water molecules, small uncharged molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid-soluble substances can move through a cell membrane via osmosis or diffusion. These particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to maintain equilibrium within the cell.
What else can I help you with?
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Solvent particles will move from an area of high concentration to low concentration across a semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is reached. This process is known as osmosis and is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to move from areas of high to low concentration to equalize the concentration gradient.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
What incudes diffusion osmosis and facitated diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is the specific type of diffusion where water molecules move through a selectively permeable membrane. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of specific molecules across a membrane with the help of transport proteins.
What is the opposite of osmosis?
The opposite of osmosis is dialysis, which involves removing waste and excess substances from the blood by passing it through a membrane. In dialysis, solutes move from an area of high concentration to low concentration rather than water moving through a semi-permeable membrane like in osmosis.
What types of molecules are moved in osmosis?
In osmosis, water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement of water helps to balance the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the 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 process by which tiny particles can pass through the cell membrane?
Small particles can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion. If the particles are water, the process is given a special name: osmosis.
How do particles move through a permeable membrane according to diffusion?
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
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 it called when particles travel from an area of high concentration to an aera of low concentration?
Through passive transport

What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
