The act of diffusing, or the state of being diffused; a spreading; extension; dissemination; circulation; dispersion., The act of passing by osmosis through animal membranes, as in the distribution of poisons, gases, etc., through the body. Unlike absorption, diffusion may go on after death, that is, after the blood ceases to circulate.

How does diffusion react when the concentration is the same on both sides?

When the concentration is the same on both sides, diffusion will reach equilibrium, meaning that there will be no net movement of molecules across the membrane. At this point, the concentration of molecules will be equal on both sides and diffusion will cease.

How the terms in each pair differ in meaning of osmosis and diffusion?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion refers to the simple property of moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so that the concentration of the total area will be equal and balanced (at equilibrium). Diffusion can occur with any substance and does not require but can involve a permeable membrane.


The movement of molecules from high concentration to low concetration?

This process is called diffusion. It occurs when molecules move randomly and eventually spread out to areas of lower concentration to achieve an equilibrium. Diffusion is a passive process, meaning it does not require energy input.


What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?

The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.


What are the 3 types of diffusion?

simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.


What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?

The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.


What is the process of spreading new ideas called?

Diffusion is the process of spreading new ideas from culture to culture. Examples of diffusion include the use of cars and the smelting of iron. There are five main types of diffusion they are: Expansion diffusion, Relocation diffusion, Hierarchal diffusion, Congious diffusion and Stimulus diffusion.
