really? height to low buddy, high to low. if you compress air where does it want to go?

Do gas diffuse?
by cooling
In diffiusion movement of particles across a membrane is drven by what differences?
In diffusion, the movement of particles across a membrane is driven by an electrochemical gradient-the ion's concentration gradient and the membrane potential. Substances will passively diffuse down their concentration gradient to where they are less concentrated. Since the inside of a cell is negative compared to its outside, the membrane potential will drive the passive transport of cations into the cell and anions out of the cell due to electrostatic attractions.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
What are Diffusions?
Duffision is when molecules diffuse (move) from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
In what direction do particles natural diffuse?
Down concentration gradients.
What direction are substances said to diffuse?
if something diffuses e.g. particles through the air or CO2 out of body cells means the particles go from a high concentration to a low concentration
What is meant by diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Example:perfume when one were to spray perfume in a room it will diffuse into the lower concentration of the room
Do gas diffuse?

Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?
No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.
What does diffution mean?
Diffusion is when particles from a higher concentration spread to an area with a lower concentration.Example: When a teabag is placed into a cup of water, particles of tea leaves diffuse through the bag into the surrounding water.

No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
What is the movement of particles of a material from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration of that material?
DiffusionThe movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.
How can solids diffuse?
I'm not quite sure liquids diffuse. but gases do an example would be if something was burning in your house you would be able to smell it up the street. The particles move from a high to a low concentration. In other words move from a place where there are lots of the particles to a place where there isn't many of the particles to almost even it out. The particles have lots of space between them to move around. Bumping into each other they create kinetic energy. This means they are able to move around.
What does it means for a molecule to diffuse down its concentration gradient?
When fluids are mixed together, they diffuse down their own concentration gradients and come to a dynamic equilibrium.
How co2 particles move from the blood to the alveoli?
They diffuse through the membrane.Diffusion is the movement of gaseous particles from a high concentration of particles, to a low concentration.Using your example of CO2, there is a high ammount of CO2 in de-oxygenated blood, so it travels to the alveoli through the membranes, where there is a lower concentration of CO2.Remember, near every alveoli there is a capillary, which makes this possible.
