Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.

Is osmosis a process that involves the movement of only water molecules?

No, osmosis is a process that involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, but it can also involve the movement of other molecules dissolved in the water.


Why the osmosis involves the movement of molecules via special transport protein?

facilitated diffusion


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!


Osmosis always involves what?

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. Thus, it always involves 1) a selectively/differentially permeable membrane 2) difference in water potential(related to concentration gradient) 3)flow of water.


What two requirements distinguish osmosis from diffusion?

Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion involves the movement of particles (e.g., ions, molecules) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The key requirements that distinguish osmosis from diffusion are the presence of a semi-permeable membrane and the movement of water molecules specifically in osmosis.


What osmosis involves . both water and oxygen water but not oxygen oxygen but not water neither water nor oxygen?

Osmosis involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. It does not involve the movement of oxygen.


What is the diffrerence between a diffustion and osmosis?

Diffusion is the movement of particles 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. Essentially, diffusion involves the movement of any type of particle, whereas osmosis specifically focuses on the movement of water molecules.


Is there antonyms for osmosis?

Some possible antonyms for osmosis could include terms like diffusion, separation, or blockage. These words describe processes that involve the movement away from equilibrium, preventing mixing or flow, unlike osmosis which involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.


Which process always involves the movement of materials from inside the cell to outside the cell A. Phagocytosis B. Endocytosis C. Diffusion D. Exocytosis E. Osmosis?

D. Exocytosis involves the release of materials from inside the cell into the extracellular space.


How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?

Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.


The process of water moving out of a cell is called?

OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell


What is osmosis direction of movement?

Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This movement is driven by the goal of achieving equilibrium in solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
