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.

How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
What is the name of the process when molecules move to a less concentrated area called?
Diffusion, unless it is water, in which case it is osmosis.
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
How does cell shape change during osmosis and cell diffusion?
Osmosis effects the volume of a cell. when the cell has equal water molecules in the water aroung it and in the cell it is shaped normally. When there is a lot of salt in the water the cell shrinks because there is less water content in the salty water thus the cell gets rid of the extra water molecules. When there is very little salt content in the water the cell gets bigger because the cell absorbs to much water.
What is the process of water moving from an area of low salute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
Water does flow to a region of more concentrated solute, by the process of osmosis.
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.
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
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.
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 is diffusion of oxygen all about?
Diffusion is the main method by which molecules move across the cell membrane. during diffusion, molecules move from an area of higher concentration, to an area of lower concentration. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the transport of water from an area of high concentration, to an area of low concentration water moves inside and inside of the cell membrane by osmosis. osmosis is the diffusion of water!
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.
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.
How water molucleus move through the cell membrane doing out mosis?
During osmosis, water molecules move through the cell membrane by passing through microscopic openings in the membrane. The openings are large enough for the water molecules to pass through.
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.
How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
