Best Answer

Particles in a gas or liquid moving from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration represents passive transport. This does not use energy.

What is diffusion in science terms?

In biology, diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. Diffusion is the free movement of particles in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.


What is a differences in concentration called?

concentration gradient


Do particles get bigger and fill a larger volume when a liquid turns into a gas?

Particles don't get bigger, however they fill a larger volume when turned into gas, this is because of diffusion, this is when particles in a higher concentration move to a lower concentration, this happens everyday in your body and in the domestic house hold


What is the process called when a liquid moves from high concentration to low concentration?

The process is called osmosis i think


What is the difference between filtration and sedimentation?

If you are filtering something you are determining what parts liquid or solid can stay and what can go. If you are reabsorbing something that means the product has been produced and will then be brought back into the producer naturally. The difference between the two is the stuff that is filtered is not necessarily always reabsorbed.


Diffusion is when particles what and what by themselves?

diffusion is really the random movement of either liquid or gas molecules, which results in the particles seemingly moving from a high concentration to a lower concentration, until the area has an equal concentration


What is diffusion?

the mixing of gas molecules due to random motion-apex


If particles in liquid a has a stronger attraction than particles in liquid b if both liquids are at the same tempureture which liquid has a higher viscosity?

Liquid A because the attraction between the particles in Liquid A are stronger than the particles in Liquid B . Answered By : BCP or CP (Nick Name From School)


What are 3 key words related to suspension?

- the grain size of the suspended particles - the concentration of the suspended particles - the density of the suspended particles - the nature of the liquid (density, viscosity)


What is it called when particles slow down from a gas to a liquid?

When there is a change from a gas to a liquid, the process is called condensation.


What has a higher density liquids or gases?

If you think of density in terms of particles this becomes easier to remember. In which would the particles be closer together? A liquid, so the liquid is denser.


Is vaporization that occurs when particles on the surface of a liquid escape the liquid even when the liquid is below its boiling point?

No; this process is called evaporation.
