Osmosis is the movement of WATER from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. So water is exchanged during osmosis.

What is the process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called?
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to an area of low solvent potential, up a solute concentration gradient.
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Is movement of alcohol through cell membrane osmosis?
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
What is it called when water diffuses across a membrane?
osmosis i think
The process by which H2O diffuses across a membrane?
This process is called osmosis.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.
What is istotonic?
We generally use the term "tonic" when referring to the effects of osmosis across a real biological membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. We usually have osmosis when the concentration of solutes on each side of the membrane are different so water diffuses from the side with lower solute concentration to the side with higher concentration and this usually continues until we have equilibrium and no more water diffuses across. This environment is called an isotonic environment. ("iso" is Greek for similar or equal)

How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
In osmosis which membrane provides net movement of water without movement of NaCl?
Osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane allows water across but disallows other particles across the membrane.
What is the equilibrium of solute across a membrane?
osmosis
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
