Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
How is active transport different then osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffraction of water through a permeable membrane using no energy, whereas active transport is the moving of particles across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Basically, Osmosis moves water with no energy. Active transport moves particles, in general, with the use of chemical energy like ATP.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What substances will cross the cell membrane through osmosis?
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.
The passive transport of water through a membrane is?
Osmosis
Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
What is the movement of materials through the membrane called?
It's either diffusion, osmosis or active transport. More information is needed to answer the question fully.
What is an example of active transport through a cell membrane?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
Osmosis can be defined as?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
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).
