Diffusion and filtration are two examples of passive transport. Between cell membranes. There is no chemical energy required. Diffusion mores from an area of high concentration to a lower concentration, while filtration moves particles of a particular diameter through a membrane.

Compare and contrast simple diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Diffision is the net movement of molecules from an area where there are many to an area where there are few. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane. Both use each other because diffision is what happens in an osmosis.
Compare and contrast between osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
Why are the processes of diffusion and osmosis are important?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
What drives the processes of diffusion and osmosis?
balance of the elements
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What are Passive processes that move substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
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).
Which of the following processes cause substances to move across membranes and doesent require energy ATP?
diffusion or osmosis (diffusion of water)
What two processes move large packets of molecules across the cell membrane?
osmosis and diffusion
Why are Osmosis and Diffusion important processes in cellular function?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
