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.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Can osmosis refer to the movement of water or sugar through a membrane?
Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of sugar through a membrane is typically referred to as diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
What molecule crosses the plasma membrane by diffusion?
water
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
What term refers to diffusion of water molecules through a selectively preamble membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.
Which term refers to the movement of water molecules through a selectively permable membrane?
diffusion
A special form of diffusion that applies only to water?
Osmosis is the special form of diffusion that applies only to water. It is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
Which term refers to the diffusion of water molecules trough a cell membrane without using the cell's energy?
Osmosis
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 diffusion the same thing as Osmosis?
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
What is the Difference between osmosis and diffuusion?
osmosis refers to the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion refers to everything else tending towards equal concentration.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Can osmosis refer to the movement of water or sugar through a membrane?
Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of sugar through a membrane is typically referred to as diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What are the differences between diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is the difference between diffusion and omosis?
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 a type of diffusion that involves water molecules.
