EFFUSION
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is diffusion.
The movement of fluid through the cell membrane from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area is called osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that allows water molecules to move across a semipermeable membrane to equalize concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
No, the movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is not called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called filtration. Filtration is a passive process driven by the pressure difference across a membrane.
Osmosis
The movement of water through diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
The movement of a fluid down a pressure gradient is called fluid flow. This process occurs when a fluid moves from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, driven by the differences in pressure. This principle is fundamental in various fields, including hydraulics, meteorology, and biology, influencing phenomena such as weather patterns and blood circulation.
The movement of air from an area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure
Gas particles under pressure flow through a tiny opening due to a combination of diffusion and effusion. Diffusion refers to the movement of gas particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while effusion specifically describes the movement of gas particles through a small opening. This process occurs until equilibrium is reached.
This movement of thermal energy is called heat transfer. It occurs through the process of conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the medium through which the transfer is taking place.
The law that represents the movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is known as Graham's Law of Effusion. It states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. This means that lighter gases will effuse more quickly than heavier gases under the same conditions.
Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane, while diffusion is the movement of solids across a membrane Diffusion ordinarily does not require a membrane.The movement of particles of a substance by their own kinetic energy from their higher concentration to lower concentration is called diffusion.
The hypothesis that explains the movement of fluid through phloem in plants is known as the "pressure flow hypothesis." It posits that the movement of sap, which contains sugars and nutrients, occurs due to differences in turgor pressure between source tissues (where sugars are produced or stored) and sink tissues (where they are utilized). As sugars are actively loaded into the phloem at the source, water enters osmotically, creating high pressure that drives the flow of the sap toward areas of lower pressure at the sinks.
