What else can I help you with?
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
Can osmosis occur in the absence of menbrane?
Osmosis cannot occur without a membrane. It is a process where solvent molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. The membrane is necessary to allow only the solvent molecules to pass through and equalize the solute concentration on both sides.
Can diffusion occur through a nonliving membrane?
Yes, it can.
When does diffusion occur across a cell membrane?
Diffusion across a cell membrane occurs when concentrations of a substance are higher either inside or outside the cell.
What is is required for diffusion to occur?
A concentration gradient and a (semi-)permeable membrane.
Can osmosis and diffusion can both occur at the same time through a dialysis membrane?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion can occur simultaneously through a dialysis membrane. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion involves the movement of solute molecules. Both processes can occur independently of each other through a dialysis membrane when there is a concentration gradient present.
What part of an animal cell allows diffusion and osmsis occur?
the cell membrane
Where in the membrane does facilitated diffusion occur?
Diffusion will most likely to occur where there is a high concentration of gas or water then the particles distibute evenly to the area of low concentration. for example if you could smell a turkey cooking in the oven from upstairs without anyone telling you.
Diffusion across a membrane that requires no energy to occur is a process known as?
this is known as "passive transport"
What does diffusion across the cell membrane cause?
A change in concentration of solutes on either side of the membrane. Depending on the tonicity of the inner-membrane and the outside of the membrane, plasmolysis or cytolysis may occur.
Can diffusion occur without membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules kineticly from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. Osmosis is the movement of molecules thru a membrane.
Can diffusion and osmosis occur simultaneously?
Yes, diffusion and osmosis can occur simultaneously. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. In a system with solutes and a semi-permeable membrane, both processes can happen at the same time.
