What is Understanding Diffusion and Osmosis about?
This document discusses diffusion and osmosis through a cell membrane. It defines diffusion as the net movement of material from an area of high concentration to low concentration down a concentration gradient. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane toward a higher concentration of ions or solutes. The document explains how solutions can be isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic and the effects on cell volume. Maintaining homeostasis through diffusion and osmosis is importa
