Diffusion is an intermingling of molecules, ions, etc., resulting from random thermal agitation, as in the dispersion of a vapor in air. When there is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell than inside the cell, diffusion takes place by causing the concentration of oxygen molecules to be the same outside and inside the cell.

What is a membranous transportation system with the cell?
A membranous transportation system within the cell is what will allow substances to get in and out of the cell. This is made possible through osmosis and diffusion.
What controls diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell?
the nucleus controls both osmosis and diffusion in and out of a cell
What gas moves into or out of cell diffusion?
Oxygen moves into the cell and Carbon Dioxide moves out of the cell due to diffusion
Which describes a role of the endoplasmic reticulum within a cell?
II only
What type of diffusion helps glucose enter the cell?
facilitated diffusion
What cell part plays a role in diffusion?
The plasma membrane of a cell plays a role in diffusion.
What role did diffusion play in the changes you observed?
Before diffusion there is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell than inside the cell. After diffusion the concentration of oxygen molecules is the same outside and inside the cell.
What is faciillitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is diffusion that occurs not through the cell membrane directly but through protein channels within the cell membrane. They are often, although not always, substrate specific.
How are amino acids transported within the cell?
Passively, via diffusion.
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.
What is a membranous transportation system with the cell?
A membranous transportation system within the cell is what will allow substances to get in and out of the cell. This is made possible through osmosis and diffusion.
Does diffusion or osmosis take place in the nervous system?
Diffusion is the process of cell transfer within the nervous system. It is diffusion of the ions that allows for transport and solubility to complete the process. Osmosis is used in other cellular areas.
What is the role of Golgi in the cell?
Golgi act as "informants" within the cell. They tell the cell to move, stretch, etc.
What controls diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell?
the nucleus controls both osmosis and diffusion in and out of a cell
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion similar?
Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane
What gas moves into or out of cell diffusion?
Oxygen moves into the cell and Carbon Dioxide moves out of the cell due to diffusion
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
