Which solution might a cell maintain homeostasis through diffusion?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Diffusion allows waste chemicals to move down a concentration gradient. The chemicals will move from an area of high concentration (inside the cell) to areas of lower concentration (outside of the cell) via the cell membrane. This is also an example of passive transport.

Molecules of a substance move across a concentration gradient to balance internal cellular conditions with the surrounding environment.

Does archaebacteria have homeostasis?
they maintain homeostasis through their cells and the sun. the sun helps heat its cells which cause then to reproduce.
What structure maintains homeostasis by controlling the concentration of solutes within a cell?
Homeostasis is a process that keeps a cell stable. The cell membrane, through the process of diffusion, works to move solutes down a concentration gradient to aid in homeostasis.
How does the circulatory system maintain homestasis?
homeostasis is maintained through hormones the circulatory system will send to the brain.
Explain how the large intestine helps maintain homeostasis?
The large intestine helps maintain homeostasis by reabsorbing water, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes during the process of forming feces that is excreted from the body through the last portion of the colon, the anus.
How plants maintain water balance?
by closing stomataPlants maintain water balance through a process called Homeostasis ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its stomata.
What is the relationship between homeostasis and diffusion?
Homeostasis is the ability of a system to keep the internal at a constant state. Diffusion is the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to lower concentration. (in Biology its often particles through a cell membrane) Diffusion is a method that helps keep homeostasis, especially within the human body. hope this helps! =)
How does system help the maintain homeostasis?
There are two ways that the respiratory system maintain homeostasis. These are through gas exchange and regulation of blood pH.
What happens when blood flows through capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The pancreas and liver work together to maintain homeostasis through what?
Negative Feedback.
Which system drives blood through the body in order to maintain homeostasis?
cardiovascular
How does the plasma membrane maintain homeostasis?
The Plasma membrane maintains the homeostasis throughout a cell because it filters what substances go in and out of the cell. If there is too much of a substance in a cell the plasma membrane quickly disposes it and when there is not enough of a substance in a cell the plasma membrane lets the substance in.The plasma membrane uses selective permeability to maintain homeostasis in a cell by eliminating wastes and taking in needed items.
What do you need for homeostasis?
Homeostasis when referred to cells, basically means the cell is "happy". It is the driving force of diffusion and osmosis, the passage of high density to low density through a barrier.
What organelle main function maintain homeostasis?
Homeostasis is maintained through the plasma/cell membrane. The cell membrane performs osmosis to do so
Does archaebacteria have homeostasis?
they maintain homeostasis through their cells and the sun. the sun helps heat its cells which cause then to reproduce.
What is the diffusion of water from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane?
It is called osmosis.
What structure maintains homeostasis by controlling the concentration of solutes within a cell?
Homeostasis is a process that keeps a cell stable. The cell membrane, through the process of diffusion, works to move solutes down a concentration gradient to aid in homeostasis.
Do plants maintain homeostasis?
They maintain homeostasis through their cell membrane letting only some minerals get in and out. This gives the plant energy and allows the plant to have nutrition. The plants move to the sun and open their stems and buds.
