Diffusion is the process most similar to osmosis. Both involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, with the goal of achieving equilibrium. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable 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.


How does reverse osmosis work?

Reverse osmosis filters certain types of molecules and ions by applying pressure on one side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis works by introducing a large amount of pressure to a solution to remove large molecules and/or ions completely. This process is similar to other osmosis exercises.


Are diffusion and osmosis the same process?

Diffusion and osmosis are similar processes, but they are not the same. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.


What process is osmosis?

It is a process that diffuses water


What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.


What is the name of the process by which water moves into the root hairs?

Its not really by a process of osmosis. It is more by active transport. And the different concetration gradient in the soil and in the roots.

Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?

No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.


Does osmosis reproduce?

Osmosis is a process and not a living being. So, it cannot reproduce.
