Is a membrane necessary for diffusion to take place?
yes
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
What drives diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of ions and other micro molecules across a barrier or membrane. Diffusion is caused by gradients on either side of the membrane.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Diffusion requires what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion diffrent?
Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.
Is a specialized form of diffusion and diffusion is a type of passive transport.?
membrane
Is a specialized form of diffusion and diffusion is a type of passive transport?
membrane
Can phospholipid move?
In membrane structure: lateral diffusion and not transverse diffusion
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
