Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane but most of what is called osmosis in cells is actually due to a what related proccess?
Diffusion and Convection. In molecular diffusion, the moving entities are small molecules. Diffusion is the thermal motion molecules at heated temperature. Diffusion rate is a function of only temperature, and is not affected by concentration. I do believe this answer is most likely wrong.
What else can I help you with?
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
What Small droplets of liquid can pass through a cell membrane by the process of?
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.
What is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable memberane?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
What is simple diffusion of water through a membrane called?
Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal 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.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell 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.
What is relationship between osmosis and diffusion?
The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
The diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the 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.
How do ions pass through the membrane?
Osmosis and diffusion
What is the diffusion of water molicules across a membrane?
Osmosis
What is the diffusion of water across a preamble membrane?

An odor moving from one part of the room to another is osmosis or diffusion?
diffusion. Osmosis is movement across a semipermeable membrane
