What is the process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration--not to be confused with osmosis, which is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane.

Diffusion
The tendency of matter to spread to areas of lower concentration is called diffusion if referring to the solute. It is called osmosis if referring to the solvent.

osmosis!
Diffusion. The particles move till they reach equilibrium.

Diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.

What does osmosis do?
The random movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
What is diffusion in science terms?
In biology, diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. Diffusion is the free movement of particles in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.
Osmosis is a diffusion process that moves through the membrane from higher to lower concentration. molecules salt water nutrients?
Switch the word "solvent" to "water" and you have the best definition possible.
How do particles move from an area of high to an area of low concentration?
In cells, diffusion moves by facilitated diffusion, active transport, ABC transporters, group translocation or osmosis. Some of these move molecules from a low concentration to a higher and against the gradient.Simple diffusion moves molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration.
Does the food coloring stay at the bottom of the container or does it mix with the liquid above it?
The food coloring will eventually mix with the liquid through the process of diffusion. At the start, all of the dye molecules are close together (so the area that they are in contains a high concentration of dye molecules). As they move around, they eventually move from this area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (the rest of the water). After this process of diffusion is complete, the dye molecules are evenly distributed thoughout the entire liquid (the concentration is equal everywhere).
Process from which molecules go from a lower concentration to a higher concentration?
diffusion
The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
diffusion
Is Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?
Yes
What is the general process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
That's a definition of diffusion.
What is the process of molecules from an area of high concentration to low?
Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
What is process of molecules spreading from an area of high concentration to low concentration?
Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
Is this true or false Osmosis is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
True
What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrrane during the process of diffusion?
The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.
What is the difference between diffusion or osmosis?
Diffusion is the process of air particles or molecules that moves from a point of higher concentration to point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally distributed among the particular area ,Osmosis is the process of water particles from a point of higher concentration to a point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally balance on each side of the membrane.
Which process would describe the movement of sugar molecules through a membrane from a region of higher concentration of a region of lower concentration?
Diffusion
What is the process of molecules spreading from an area of high concentrations to low concentration?
Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
Diffusion is the movement of a substance?
from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
