Dissusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration until equilibrium is reached, while osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"What is the correct description of the relationship between osmosis and diffusion?  a.diffusion is a type of osmosis that occurs across a cell membrane.  b.osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs across a cell membrane.  c.osmosis is a type of diffusion that requires energy on the part of the cell, whereas diffusion happens freely.  d.osmosis is not directly related to diffusion. osmosis involves the movement of liquids. diffusion involves movement of gases."

Answer:

a. diffusion is a type of osmosis that occurs across a cell membrane.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of the solvent (water) through a semipermeable membrane from the least concentrated medium to the most concentrated medium, in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides. Diffusion, in turn, is a physical process in which substances (solute) are transported from a more concentrated region to a less concentrated one (in favor of the concentration gradient) in a random and spontaneous manner. In this case, we can say that diffusion is a type of osmosis, however, it transports different things through the membrane. In osmosis, the transport is of liquid things, in the diffusion the transport is of solid things.

In facilitated diffusion, do molecules move down their concentration gradient? Explain.
artcher [175]
In facilitated diffusion, substances move into or out of cells down their concentration gradient through protein channels in the cell membrane. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are similar in that both involve movement down the concentration gradient.

How do external parasites affect an animal?
kvv77 [185]
I know they carry diseases which can harm or kill the animal it is attached to. These diseases can taint the meat of the animal so it wouldn't be wise to eat it which stinks if the animal is bread for eating. They can also irritate the skin and cause rashes, or even eat the flesh of the animal away.
