No, osmosis is the movement of water particles through a semi-permeable membrane, from a place where there is a high concentration of water, to where there is a lower concentration of water. It can be confusing, because when we talk about solutions we often refer to the concentration of the solute rather than the solvent.
For instance, if we have a cell containing cell sap with a high concentration of sugar, and a more dilute solution outside the cell, water will flow into the cell. If you think about the sugar, it might seem that particles are going to the more 'crowded' areas, but the important thing is the concentration of the molecules which are moving, i.e. the water molecules. A dilute solution of sugar has a higher concentration of water than a concentrated one.

What moves particles from low consentration to high consentration?
Active transport is the mechanism by which particles are moved from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration in a cell. This process requires energy to pump the particles across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Passive transport that moves particles away from areas is called what?
Passive transport that moves particles away from areas is called facilitated diffusion. This process uses transport proteins to help molecules or ions pass through the cell membrane, moving from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration without using energy.
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
What moves during diffusion?
In diffusion, particles or molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement occurs due to the random thermal motion of particles.
This is the process of particles spreading out evenly due to particle motion?
This is known as diffusion, where particles move randomly from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. This process is driven by the natural tendency of particles to achieve equilibrium.
What process that alows movement of gases and ions from areas of high consentration to low consentration?
Diffusion is the process that allows movement of gases and ions from areas of high concentration to low concentration. This process occurs passively, driven by the concentration gradient, and does not require energy input from the cell.
How can you tell which direction particles will diffuse in?
Particles will diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration to reach equilibrium. This process is driven by the random motion of particles. The direction of diffusion can be predicted by following the concentration gradient, where particles will move towards areas of lower concentration.
What is the term for the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
who even knows!
What motion is the next movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
diffusion
What is hypotenic?
the movement of particles from areas of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration.
When particles travel from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
diffusion
What do we call particles moving from problem areas to less crowded areas?
Particles moving from problem areas to less crowded areas are called diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which particles spread out and move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration to create equilibrium. This movement occurs due to the natural random motion of particles.
In what direction do particles natural diffuse?
Down concentration gradients.
What do you call the movement of particles from crowded areas to less crowded areas?
This movement of particles is called diffusion, where particles tend to move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from area high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
What is needed to move particles from areas of low concentration to high concentration?
Energy input in the form of active transport processes such as protein pumps is needed to move particles from areas of low concentration to high concentration. These processes directly consume energy in order to move particles against their concentration gradient.
How do particles move from areas from lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?
The answer is is OSMOSIS the spontaneous net movement of water across a membrane from a region of low concentration to a solution with a high concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
