The tendency of the concentration of particulate in a solution to even out is called?
Drugs are most often absorbed in the gastrointestinal system through a process called passive diffusion. Passive diffusion works because particles in a solution tend to even out. A high concentration of particulate seeps into low areas of concentration until a balance is achieved.
How do nonpenetrating solutes affect the osmotic pressure of a solution?
Nonpenetrating solutes increase the osmotic pressure of a solution by adding more particles that cannot pass through the membrane, causing water to move into the solution to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
What happens to the red blood cells when mix with salt solution?
Red blood cells that are put in a dilute salt solution swell because of osmosis. This process causes red blood cells to swell in hypotonic solutions because the liquid tries to dilute the cells' solution since it tries to equalize the solution's tonicities.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
The solution is said to be hypertonic to the cell. This means that there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell in order to balance the concentration, which can lead to cell dehydration.
What is the difference between an isotonic solution and equilibrium?
An isotonic solution refers to a solution where the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside of a cell, leading to no net movement of water across the cell membrane. Equilibrium, on the other hand, refers to a state where there is a balance between opposing forces, resulting in a steady state with no net change. In the context of a cell, equilibrium can refer to the balance of ions or molecules inside and outside the cell.
A solution that causes water to move out of a cell?
Hypertonic solution causes water to move out of a cell by creating a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell, leading to water leaving the cell in an attempt to balance the concentration gradient.
Is it from high concentration to low that particles move across a membrane move?
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.
At a pH of 7 what is true a The hydroxide ion concentration equals the hydronium ion concentration b The concentration of the acid equal the concentration of the conjugate base?
At a pH of 7, both statements are true. The hydroxide ion concentration equals the hydronium ion concentration in a neutral solution with pH 7. Additionally, in a neutral solution, the concentration of the acid equals the concentration of the conjugate base since the solution has an equal balance of H+ and OH- ions.
What is the difference between diffusion or osmosis?
Diffusion is the process of air particles or molecules that moves from a point of higher concentration to point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally distributed among the particular area ,Osmosis is the process of water particles from a point of higher concentration to a point of lower concentration until the molecules are equally balance on each side of the membrane.
Osmosis is a type of diffusion?
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. It occurs when there is a difference in solute concentration on either side of the membrane, resulting in the movement of water to balance the concentration gradient.
If You Could Visualize Osmosis Seeing The Solute And Solvent Particles As Individual Entities What Would An Osmotic Gradient Look Like?
An osmotic gradient would appear as a higher concentration of solute particles on one side and a lower concentration on the other side. You would observe solvent particles moving from the side of lower solute concentration to the side of higher solute concentration to balance out the concentrations. This movement of solvent particles is what drives osmosis.
What is the processes of diffusion and osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. For osmosis to happen you need: * two solutions with different concentrations * a partially permeable membrane to separate them Diffusion occurs when particles spread. They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration. Diffusion happens when the particles are free to move. This is true in gases and for particles dissolved in solutions. Particles diffuse down a concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
