It exerts pressure on the side with a higher concentration of water.

Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?

Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.


What type of membrane is required for osmosis?

A selectively permeable membrane is required for osmosis. This membrane allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the movement of solute particles based on their size and charge.


What is a selectlively permeable membrane?

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis


What is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

What occurs when only water can pass through a selectively permeable membrane?

osmosis


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.


What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?

Osmosis


The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane through aquaporins is called?

osmosis


HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS IS DIFFERENT FROM OSMOSIS?

1) Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.


What phrase best describes osmosis A process by which A the cytoplasm divides B DNA synthesizes C molecules distribute balanced by movement D selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it?

D. Selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
