What is the movement of molecules from an ara where there are many to an area where there are few?
diffusion
What term refers to the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
What is movement of molecules from an are where there are many to an are where there are few?
diffusion
When a protein channel allows molecules to cross through the cell membrane?
when a protein channel allows molecules to cross through the cell membrane this is called facilitated diffusion. many might mistake this for diffusion which is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated.
Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Diffision is the net movement of molecules from an area where there are many to an area where there are few. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane. Both use each other because diffision is what happens in an osmosis.
What are huge molecules made up of many smaller organic molecules called?
This compound is called a polymer.
Very large molecules that are made of a chain of many smaller molecules are called?
Polymers.
What is the bonding together of many similar but smaller molecules called?
The bonding together of many similar but smaller molecules is called a synthesis reaction or a combination reaction.
What are the simplest particle of many compounds called?
Molecules.
How is the movement of electricity through air different from its movement through copper wire?
The Air is many molecules scattered all around and copper wire is molecules in a line and very condensed where air is not. Therefore copper wire is a better conducter
What is the movement of many people and animals called?
The movement of many people and animals is called migration. Migration can occur for various reasons such as seasonal changes, food availability, or breeding purposes.
What is diffusion?
the mixing of gas molecules due to random motion-apex
