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

Can you have diffusion without osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of any molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. so yes it is possible to have diffusion without osmosis.


COMPARE osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.


How would you compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, while diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Both processes involve the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.


How would diffusion differ from osmosis?

Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient


Which process would describe the movement of sugar molecules through a membrane from a region of higher concentration of a region of lower concentration?

Diffusion


Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from what?

region oh higher concerntration to the region of lower concerntration


The diffusion of wat?

Diffusion is the movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.


What do you call the movement of molecules or atoms from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?

The Atomic or Molecular movements generally known as Osmotic diffusion.


How is osmosis related to diffussion?

Diffusion -Movement of molecules(not water) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationOsmosis -Movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane.Similarities- both move from higher to lower concentration and both are examples of passive transport


Compare osmosis diffusion and filtration?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Filtration involves the movement of particles through a barrier, typically driven by a pressure gradient, with the goal of separating substances based on size.


What is the relattionship between osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion describes the movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce - or from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration Osmosis is diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane


What is the scientific word for 'gas spreading from one spot to another'?

Diffusion is the scientific term for the movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform.
