Where within the body does pressure affect diffusion of a substance?

Pressure increases the rate of diffusion. As the pressure on the membrane increase, attempts to enter the lower concentration increase, speeding the diffusion rate.

What is the shrinkage of cytoplasm within a cell from diffusion is known as?
The shrinkage of cytoplasm within an animal cell is known as crenation.
Jellylike substance within cell?
cytoplasm
Does change in air pressure affect eyesight?
I've often noticed that my distance vision is slightly blurred only during stormy weather. Could this be caused by low air pressure (it seems like pressure would be equalized within and -out the eyeball faster than the barometric pressure outside changes !?) or refractive index of the air?
What is the blood pressure within the right atrium called?
central venous pressure
What is Intrapulmonary pressure?
The intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure in the alveoli. Intrapulmonary pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing, but it ALWAYS eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure.
The intermingling of one substance within another?
Diffusion
How does the bulk flow of filtrate into the capsule differ from diffusion?
The bulk flow of filtrate is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is a broad category of distribution of a substance within another substance. Diffusion can be specific or general in location and rate of flow.
What is a process that spreads substances through a gas or liquid?
According to scientists, diffusion is responsible for spreading out of the particles of a gas or any substance such as liquid within a solution.
What is meant by saturation temperature and saturation pressure?
The temperature and pressure of the atmosphere must be at that point or in an interval of values for the substance to be saturated. When mixing solutions, the temperature and pressure must be within a certain range for the substance to dissolve.
Can pressure affect the arrangement and motion of a substance?
Yep. If you add pressure to a closed system (e.g. an uncapped Cola bottle), the molecules within the system will fly faster. Furthermore, you can liquidify a gas (only if the tempreature is low enough to allow so) or rather solidify a liquid by adding pressure to that system. But if we describe an open system (e.g. a bathtube), pressure won't affect the system (you can punch in the water, but nothing will happen).
How do increasing the temperature of a liquid affect the dissolving of a substance?
because you are breaking apart either the dipole bond or hydrogen bond molecules within the substance
Why is the drop in blood pressure important in exchanging fluids within the capillaries?
It is important because capillaries do most of their work of exchanging gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, by diffusion, which works best under less pressure. ???That is not quite right. Exchange of gases occurs when there are different concentrations in a given sample and it has nothing to do with pressure. Filtration occurs under different pressure, diffusion happens regardless of pressure.
Where in animals does diffusion take place?
Diffusion happens in every plant and animal cell. It occurs through the membrane of each and every cell in the organism.
How does increasing the temperature of a gas within a gas tank affect its volume?
It affects pressure, not volume.
What is the effect of pressure on the rate of radioactive decay?
Pressure does not affect the rate of radioactive decay. That is entirely unaffected by the environment within the nucleus of the atom.
What is the basic mechanism of cellular respiration?
At a cellular level it is strictly diffusion by way of partial pressure differences. (With animals that's oxygen disappearing and CO2 appearing within the cell.)
How does air pressure affect the number of basket bounces?
The more air pressure within a basketball, the more capable it is to bounce efficiently, rather than a basketball with little air pressure.
