Biology Help: Diffusion and Osmosis explained in 5 minutes!!

We talk about the main principles of diffusion and osmosis in this video. Diffusion is the process of movement of molecules from a high to low concentration. Osmosis is similar but relates to water potential of molecules across a partially permeable membrane.

[@stigmatamartyr4223]

You da man! No, really, you explained this better than my professor. He just throws up slides on a screen and flies through them just to hurry up and finish a chapter. He told us that we're responsible for our own learning. So here I am. Glad I found this channel.

[@zulu7473]

thanks now i can make my science exam

[@GabrielKnightz]

Could you help me understand how Osmosis works within the context of Brining a piece of meat? Shouldn't the water in the animal cells go in the direction of being high in water concentration to lower in the brine? and yet the process is successfully used in practice to marinate and moisten the meat. How so?

[@sonnyson177]

My text & professor teaches where there’s an area of high concentration of solute is where the water will most likely travel towards. In other words water will travel from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration to create equilibrium.

[@5MinuteSchool]

That's also correct! My explanation is based on water potential so both definitions are correct.

You said its passive which means no energy require, but you also said the higher temperature will increase the energy of molecules and let them moving faster. I am a little confuse here......

[@jessicacassell4112]

the molecules have heir own energy, when they are heated, they move faster, this is just the cells, the cell still doesn't use energy.

[@emangrib4809]

Veary niiice- Borat

[@vv14652]

i have one doubt molecules moves from higher concentration to lower concentration means what? secondly higher to lower means top to bottom or top side 100 percentage moves from here to there 50 percentage of molecules here what he mentioned about concentration in terms? any one can explain clearly

[@ruthlovely893]

Is not osmosis from low-high? 3:18 I think you had it wrong my textbook and teacher did not say that

[@khushiprasad9443]

Any one else searching vedio for diffusion experiment🙄🙄🙄 Help me to find out guys🙏😭♥️♥️

[@taylormcmillan178]

helped me loads, thank u

[@bessadok]

Thanks so much!

[@5MinuteSchool]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Mazaaaila24]

Thnku so much so nice lecture

[@mollyoxy]

Pressure always confuses me. You made the example of making a container smaller which means the molecules will spread out faster because there's less space to cover. But does that mean the pressure is higher...?

[@5MinuteSchool]

If you make the container smaller, the molecules will end up closer together (not spread out as you said) as the size of the container has decreased. This means the pressure within the container is higher because the energies that the molecules have are confined to a much smaller space. Hope this makes sense

[@dannichols6261]

You didn't have time to include it, but the *area* of the semi-permeable membrane also is a factor in the rate of osmosis (in addition to the temperature, concentration gradient, and the distance for the molecules to travel which you mentioned).

[@lanidee1028]

Thank you very helpful. Can you do the same for facilitated diffusion please.

[@Flowerydulce]

[@DavidZohoun]

I thought Osmosis was the movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of LOW solute concentration to an area of HIGH solute concentration. Which is why Osmosis plays a vital role in maintaining the rigidity in plant cells. Right?

[@5MinuteSchool]

Yes you are correct! Thats another way of defining osmosis. Usually areas of lower solute concentration have higher amounts of water than areas with high solute concentration. So to balance to osmotic pressure, water moves from the region with more water and less solute to the region of low water and high solute.

[@mizaempo99]

So you said it wrong in your video, cause you are telling us the water is moving from a region of higher concentration to a lower one.

[@johnnelscotland223]

it is from low to high

[@madelinestromak9248]

Thanks so much for this! Btw if you don't mind me asking, where's your accent from? I think it's cool
