how do molecules move during osmosis or diffusion?
Answers
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. ... Different concentrations of solute molecules leads to different concentrations of free water molecules on either side of the membrane.
Answer:-
During Diffusion:- During diffusion, substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, until the concentration becomes equal throughout a space.
