What else can I help you with?
Which term refers to the diffusion of water molecules through a slestively permaeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
How do cells control osimsis?
osmossis is the movement of water molecules through a state of high concentration to a state of low concentration through 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 includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
These processes involve the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the passive transport of molecules across a membrane with the help of specific proteins.
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
Osmosis involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across the membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
What does osmosis do?
The random movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
What is the scientific definition of osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, in order to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane.
Occurs when water molecules diffuse through a membrane?
Osmosis. This is the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
Which type of molecules cross the membrane in osmosis?
Water molecules cross the membrane during osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
How is diffusion different from osmosis?
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.
Osmosis is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is this true or false?
True. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
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.
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable is called?
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules 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.
Which term refers to the diffusion of water molecules through a slestively permaeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
Is osmosis the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration or movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration?
Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane, in order to equalize the concentration on both sides.
How does osmosis work?
Osmosis is the diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. It works by moving the water molecules to the place of low concentration until it reaches equilibrium. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area through a partially permeable membrane
Does osmosis move from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Yes, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
