Which term describes the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell?
Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
What Terms can be defined as the movement of water across a cell membrane?
Movement of water is a passive process called osmosis. It always moves from an area of higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water.
The movement of water to an area of higher solute concentration is called?
The movement of water to an area of higher solute concentration is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
What movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
What are two different ways things are transported passively?
diffusion(movement of solute from area of greater concentration to lesser) osmosis(movement of water from an area of greater water concentration to lesser)
The movement of water molecules across selectively premeable?
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.
What is an example sentence of osmosis in a sentence?
Jane wished that she could absorb goodness by osmosis, since it was so terribly hard to behave.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
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.
Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
How do osmosis and diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
What is the direction of the water movement of animal cell?
Osmosis the the movement of water from where it is higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration.
The net movement of water across a membrane from the solution of lower concentration to one of higher concentration is called?
This is referred to as OSMOSIS. When you say "solution of lower concentration" this implies the solute concentration is low, thus water concentration is high. So, osmosis is movement of water from a high concentration of water, to a lower concentration of water, just to be clear.
Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
Osmosis concerns the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. It is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient, where water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
How is diffusion and osmosis different?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to that of a low concentration. Osmosis is the transfer of a solvent (usually water) through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration into an area of low concentration.
What is differences between osmosis and diffussion?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. While both processes involve the movement of molecules, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
