Does carbon dioxide molecules diffuse from where they are in high cocentration to places where there is a lower concentration?

They always travel from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration due to the idea of diffusion. Diffusion definition: the net movement of individual particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration due to the random movement of individual particles.

Which substances readily diffuse through the membrane?
Small and non-polar molecules can readily pass through the cell membrane. They follow the concentration gradient, moving from the higher concentration area to the region of lower concentration.
What things diffuse out of cells?
diffussion of oxyzen means dissociation curve .oxyzen diffussion depends on concentration of corbon dioxide concentration and bmr .if corbon dioxide concentration is increased the diffussion is also increased. if bmr is also high the diffussion of oxyzen in blood is also increase
Why does carbon dioxide moves into red blood cells by diffusion rather than by active transport?
Do you mean why does carbon dioxide diffuse out of the cells into the bloodstream? Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. Carbon dioxide is present in your body cells at a high concentration because the cells are making it. The process which makes carbon dioxide in cells is respiration. This is the release of energy from food. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration. The carbon dioxide molecules diffuse into the blood because there is a lower concentration in the than in the cells. This is because the blood is always moving, so the carbon dioxide is carried away and does not build up. The difference in concentration between the cells and the blood keeps carbon dioxide diffusing in the correct direction.

Why does oxygen diffuse in and carbon dioxide diffuse out?
In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood that the capillaries carry due to a concentration gradient that exists there as oxygen conc is higher in the alveolar sacs than in the blood capillaries. Similarly carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood capillaries into the alveolar sacs down the concentration gradient. The constant flow of blood is there to ensure this concentration gradient is established at all times.

What molecule is able to easily diffuse across the cell's membrane?
Carbon dioxide, oxygen and some nonpolar molecules diffuse easily.
When diffusion occurs in body cells and our lungs which way does it move?
The movement of molecules of a substance from its higher concentration to its lower concentration by their own kinetic energy is called diffusion. Thus abiding the principle of diffusion it occurs in our body cells and lungs both ways. In lungs the molecules of oxygen diffuse inside the blood and for carbon dioxide molecules outside.
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the Lings and though all cell membranes?
They enter/exit through a passive transport process called diffusion. It is caused by a concentration gradient within the two things being exchanged. The molecules diffuse across the membrane from the high concentration to the lower concentration side.

How does living cell obey law of diffusion cite an example?
living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. they also get rid of their waste products in this way. for example, plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. this diffuses from the air into the leaves, through the stomata. it does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf, as the cells are using it up. outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf, down this concentration gradient
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Why can carbon dioxide move easily through a membrane?
Carbon dioxide is a relatively small molecule, and can diffuse through semi-permeable membranes easily, providing that it moves down a higher concentration gradient.

What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs and tissues?
Diffusion, whether of gases or some other substance, is always dependent on a diffusion gradient. Diffusion always occurs from an area of high [H] concentration to an area of low [L] concentration.In the case of the lungs:oxygen moves from a [H] concentration in the lungs/alveoli to a [L] concentration in the bloodcarbon dioxide moves from [H] concentration in the blood to a [L] concentration in the lungs/alveoliWith tissues, the situation is much the same:oxygen moves from a [H] concentration in the blood to a [L] concentration in the tissuescarbon dioxide moves from a [H] concentration in the tissues to a [L] concentration in the blood
