Classify the following characteristics based on whether they
Classify the following characteristics based on whether they are describing diffusion, osmosis, or both.
Solution
Involves the movement of gases, ions and small water soluble molecules - Osmosis
Passive form of movement that requires no energy - Both diffusion and osmosis.
Moves from area of high concentration to low concentration - Both diffusion and osmosis.
Responsible for maintaing turger pressure in plant cells - Osmosis.
Responsible for gas exchange in lungs - Diffusion
Result in equal distribution of solute molecules - Both diffusion and osmosis.
Always involves the movement of water -Osmosis
Requires semi permeable membrane - Osmosis.
Can occur with or without membrane - Diffusion
