diffusion is the transefer of said product from high to low concentration on the outside of the organism. e.g when in water skin wrinkles as their is water outside and water diffuses from your skin to the water outside as it has a higher concentration of molecules. You can increase diffusion by increasing the concentration of the other product on the outside. hope this helped.
When a cell membrane is said to be selectively permeable, it means that the cell membrane controls what substances pass in and out through the membrane. This characteristic of cell membranes plays a great role in passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell. The energy for passive transport comes entirely from kinetic energy that the molecules have. The simplest type of passive transport is diffusion, which is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion moves down the concentration gradient, which is the difference in the concentration of molecules across a space. Osmosis is a type of diffusion in which water molecules move down the concentration gradient. When the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of solute in the cytosol , the solution outside is hypotonic to the cytosol. If the concentration of solute molecules is higher outside of the cell, the solution outside is said to be hypertonic. The solution outside is isotonic if the concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
There are two basic ways that individual molecules can enter (or leave) a cell.1. Diffusion. This is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. So if the concentration of the molecule is higher outside the cell it can enter by diffusion. However diffusion can only take place down a concentration gradient ie from a high to a low concentration.2. Active transport. This is the movement of particles against their concentration gradient (ie from a low to a high concentration), using energy provided by the cell (ie ATP produced by respiration). So if a molecule is at a higher concentration inside the cell it can only be absorbed by active transport.
in the normal diffusion the substance move from the area of greater concentration to that of lower concentration. .... but i never know what do we mean be "faciliated" plz specify
Simple Diffusion - Lipid soluble molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane of a cell, uses no ATP energy and only occurs down a concentration gradient.Facilitated Diffusion - Molecules use the aid of proteins scattered throughout the plasma membrane to help them diffuse into or out of a cell, uses no ATP energy and only occurs down a concentration gradient.Co-transport - A molecule such as glucose may have a lower concentration inside a cell than outside so it attaches to a carrier protein, as does a molecule that is higher in concentration inside than outside, a sodium ion for example. The glucose is pulled through the membrane because of its concentration gradient, as this happens the sodium ion is also pulled through. This uses no ATP energy but only occurs if a molecule can move down a concentration gradient (on an exam paper you would have to explain that the sodium moves against a concentration gradient to get full marks).Active transport - A molecule uses the aid of carrier proteins to diffuse against a concentration gradient, this does use ATP energy. The ATP is needed to make the carrier protein change shape. This only occurs against a concentration gradient.
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.

as soon as glucose is entered into the cell, it gets phosphorylated. so it becomes glucose-6-phosphate and there is still more concentration of glucose outside the cell. because concentration gradients for both glucose and glucose-6-phosphate are separate, so more and more glucose will be taken up by the cells, and is phosphorylated. so glucose gradient remains unchanged.
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.
glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex
Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)
Diffusion is complete when there ceases to be a concentration gradient. For example diffusion has ended if the concentration of a substance is equal on the inside and outside of a permeable membrane, this state is also referred to as dynamic equilibrium.
they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.
Glucose (sugar) enters the cell through facilitated diffusion, which is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area with low concentration through a protein channel. This happens passively (on its own, with no extra energy required).It does not matter what other particles are in the cell--- the GLUCOSE will enter it so long as there is a higher concentration of GLUCOSE outside the cell than inside.The protein channel is needed because glucose molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.
