Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport. The two requirements that distinguish osmosis from diffusion are the presence of a membrane and the type of substance.

What substance cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion?

Large molecules such as proteins cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion due to their size and charge. These molecules require specialized transport mechanisms such as active transport to enter the cell.

How is osmosis related to diffusion and what are the key similarities and differences between the two processes?

Osmosis is a type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Both osmosis and diffusion involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The key difference between the two processes is that diffusion refers to the movement of any type of molecule, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.


What is the term for the diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane?

The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.


What two processes transport materials through the semi-permable membrane?

Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).


Why do scientists use two separate terms to describe diffusion and osmosis?

Diffusion describes dispersion of a contaminant through a bulk fluid. Osmosis describes dispersion of a contaminant through a membrane or divider of some sort.


What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?

Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.

What are two way diffusion and osmosis are the same?

Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Additionally, both processes are driven by the inherent kinetic energy of the molecules.
