Title: What's a Good Way to Remember Osmosis is the passage from low to high? Post by: microman on Nov 13, 2012 What's a Good Way to Remember Osmosis is the passage of water from low to high concentrations? And diffusion from high to low? (Please, correct me if i'm mistaken!)
Title: What's a Good Way to Remember Osmosis is the passage from low to high? Post by: riyaz on Nov 13, 2012 You're right.
Osmosis - OsLOWsis, low to high Diffusion - HIGH-Diff (like High-Def), high to low Between the two, Osmosis is the only word with a part which rhymes with low (mo), so I know it starts low and goes to high. That also helps. That's how I remembered, it's silly but worked for me. Silly things are always good ways to remember. Title: What's a Good Way to Remember Osmosis is the passage from low to high? Post by: fiona6197 on Nov 13, 2012 Well, when I see them, I see that in "osmosis, it begins with O, which is in Low. And it ends with "sis" and there's an I in High.
Same with diffusion. The I is the second letter which could stand for high, and the o near the end could stand for low. lOw-OsmosIs- hIgh hIgh- dIffusiOn- lOw Sorry if that's confusing. It's just what I picked up on by looking at it. :) |
