Chemotaxis - Natural movement of cells along a concentration gradient, either away or towards chemical stimulus
Diffusion distances are short
Concentration Gradients are maintained
Diffusion surfaces are large

Why are bacteria cells different from living organisms?
Bacteria are often only single celled organisms. They are indeed living, and have the ability to divide. The nucleus of the cell splits in half, and from one cell of bacteria, they will divide and you will have two bacterium etc. The speed of dividing depends on heat, light and other factors.
How does low temperature affect diffusion?
I'm pretty sure it would slow down the rate of diffusion, because higher tempuratures increase the rate of diffusion.
What is the effect of temperature at the rate of diffusion?
the collision theoryFaster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy). So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs quicker.
How can a cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment?
A cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment by having more protein carriers. This will facilitate diffusion of the glucose into the cell.
How does heat affect cells or organisms?
heat supports life and affects the speed of function
Do piranhas have special adaptation?
yes they have speed
What is important about enzyme catalysis in living organisms?
Enzymes are very important because they speed up the chemical reactions that are required for life.
Why does diffusion take place faster when you heat the substance?
The acts as a catalyst to speed up the diffusion process, allowing the molecules to overcome it; the activation energy causes the reaction to proceed at the faster rate.
Chemical reactions occur on the active on an enzyme?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions inside living organisms. They are made up of proteins.
Do enzymes speed up metabolic reaction in organisms?
Yes,enzymes speed up metabolic reaction in organisms.

what is the modes of heat transfere?
radiation radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick diffusion is slow. convention is faster than diffusion.
What is a coyote's adaptation?
one is the speed of how fast a coyotes can run, to escape.
How the rate of diffusion principal is used while filling rubber tubes to increase the speed of vehicles?
Explain how rate of diffusion principle is used while filling air in the rubber tubes to increase the speed of the vehicles.
How does low temperature affect diffusion?
I'm pretty sure it would slow down the rate of diffusion, because higher tempuratures increase the rate of diffusion.
Why the colour spread only slowly though the liquid?
This depends on the speed of diffusion.
Which modern invention has most increased the speed of cultural diffusion?
Answer this question… The Internet
