The movement of particles?

Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.


How do particles get in and out of the plasma membrane?

The movement is random, but there is a net movement from regions where there are lots of particles to ones where there are fewer particles.


Who discovered random movement of particles?

Robert Brown had discovered that particles can move randomly.


What do you call the gradual mixing to two gases due to the spontaneous random motion of the gas particles?

diffusion


Where to where do particles move during diffusion?

Movement is completely random during diffusion.


Define osmosis and diffusion?

Osmosis is the random movement of particles across (through) a partially permeable membrane along a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion is the random movement of particles in a solution from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Eventually the particles will be uniformly and randomly distributed.


How do particles move from areas where there are alot of them to areas where there are fewer of them?

The random movement of particles which happens all the time ensures that they move into any space between other particles. This is called diffusion.


A measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter?

Temperature is the average energy of random motion of particles of matter :). Hope that helps


When a solution as a greater concentration particles?

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration. This is due to the random movement of the molecules.


Is Brownian movement peculiar to living tissue?

Yes, Brownian movement is peculiar to living tissue. It is the random movement of microscopic particles caused by the direct impact with the molecules of surrounding also called molecular movement.


An example of brownian motion?

An example of brownian motion is tea diffusing in water the particles swirl in random directions


Does the Brownian motion prevent colloid particles from settling out a solution?

Yes, it was first observed by Robert Brown in 1827, and it is random movement of particles suspended in a fluid or gas.
