How does oxygen get out of the leaf cells and back into the air outside the plant?
Through a process called diffusion. This process is the random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What transport where molecules are actively leaving the cells?
When molecules are actively leaving and entering cells, this process is called active transport. It is the only way of transportation that involves energy.
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
When diffusion occurs in body cells and our lungs which way does it move?
The movement of molecules of a substance from its higher concentration to its lower concentration by their own kinetic energy is called diffusion. Thus abiding the principle of diffusion it occurs in our body cells and lungs both ways. In lungs the molecules of oxygen diffuse inside the blood and for carbon dioxide molecules outside.
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.

Through a process called diffusion. This process is the random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the process by which molecules such as glucose are moved into cells along their concentration gradient with the help of membrane bound carrier proteins called?
The process by which molecules such as glucose are moved into cells along their concentration gradient with the help of membrane bound carrier proteins is called facilitated diffusion. Facilitated transport is passive and does not directly require chemical energy from ATP.
Simple molecules are further broken down in cells in a process called?
Simple molecules are further broken down in cells in a process called catabolism.
During the process of diffusion what is occurring?
Diffusion is a process that occurs when a substance such as water, molecules, etc enter and leave cells. The way that cell diffusion happens is by molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This usually occurs until both molecules have the same amount of the substance and it is distributed evenly.
What will happen to a potato put in salt water?
In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.
What is the process called when simple molecules are further broken down into cells?
Fermination
What transport where molecules are actively leaving the cells?
When molecules are actively leaving and entering cells, this process is called active transport. It is the only way of transportation that involves energy.
The process by which the digestive system breaks down food into molecules that the body can use is called .?
cells
Is water found in the cell membrane?
The same way that air influences the shape of a balloon. When the cell is in the proper environment water enters the cell and it is the proper shape. When the solute concentration outside the cell is too high the water leaves the cell and it shrivels.
When molecules such as oxygen are moved into Cells along their concentration gradient directly through the Cell membrane - this is called?
Trans-membrane diffusion.
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
In which process in which process this is so you molecules does the cell use a vesicles to move molecules into the cell?
cells
