The movement of WATER from a high concentration area to a area of low concentration is called osmosis, but the the movement of MOLECULES from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration (like perfume when you spray from a high place) causes it to diffuse.

∙ 10y agoThis process is called diffusion of water and if the water moves from an area of higher to lower concentration through some permeable membrane or sheet then this process or phenomenon is called Osmosis.

The other way around is called Reverse Osmosis!

What is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration called?
Osmosis
What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
Is movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a?
across semipermeable membrane? That is osmosis, the net movement of water.
What is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What does osmosis refer to?
The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration called?
Osmosis
What is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called what?
the process is call OSMOSIS.
What is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration called?
Osmosis
What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
Is movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a?
across semipermeable membrane? That is osmosis, the net movement of water.
What is the movement of water through a membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water to an area of low concentration of water.
What Terms can be defined as the movement of water across a cell membrane?
Movement of water is a passive process called osmosis. It always moves from an area of higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water.
The movement of water to an area of higher solute concentration is called?
The types of movement are active transport but in this case it's osmosis.
What is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What does osmosis refer to?
The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is net movement of particles from an area of higher concentrations to an area of low concentrations called?
Diffusion is the passive movements of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower concentration.
