Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
What is summary of the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectivey permeable membrane. The molecules move from an area of high concentraion to an area of low concentration and vice-veca.
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
What is the process in which molecules move from an area where there are a lot of them to an area where there are a few of them in plants?
Molecules move from an area of higher concentraion to lower concentration by a process called "diffusion." When the molecules move from more to less concentration, it is called a "concentraiton gradient." When molecules move generally in one direction (towards one area), it is called "net direction."
How do water molecules move during osmosis?
Water molecules move from the region of high concentration to region of low concentration. No ATP spent in such a process. In purification of water reverse osmosis is used.
In what ways do molecules move?
it moves by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
Gas exchanges occur mainly by osmosis?
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
What is summary of the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectivey permeable membrane. The molecules move from an area of high concentraion to an area of low concentration and vice-veca.
When an egg is placed in vinegar which way do th water molecules move?
Hi!! I am pretty sure the water molecules move outwards from the egg. This is called osmosis.
