Definition
Passive movement of molecules from regions of higher concentration towards regions of lower concentration
MOLECULES DISOLVE - eg, exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs |

Term
|
Definition
The diffusion of water molecule across selectively permeable membrane. Movement occurs toward the higher solute concentration because that is where the concentration of water is lower, continues until concentration gradient is eliminated.
(MOVEMENT ACROSS AS REQUIRED - balancing)
eg, water moves across the cell membrane to correct imbalances in water concentration. |
