How does the size of molecules affect diffusion?
The larger the molecule, the slower the rate of the osmosis; and the smaller the molecule, the slower the rate of osmosis.
Why do oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while protein molecules do not?
Cell membrane is semipermeable and oxygen molecules have size required for easy passqge while Glucose molecules do not have that size required for easy passage.
Effect of molecular size on diffusion?
Molecular Diffusion Of Light
What is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones be absorbed by the cells called?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
What reactions are where larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones?
reations are reations in which large molcules are broken down into smaller ones
Do all liquids diffuse the same way?
no because different molecules have different sizes. Smaller molecules will diffuse faster than larger molecules.
Does hydrogen diffuse faster than methane?
Yes, hydrogen diffuses faster than methane. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the smallest of all molecules and it is considerably smaller than the methane molecule, CH4. Smaller molecules move faster, and therefore diffuse faster, at any given temperature, than larger molecules.
How does the size of molecules affect diffusion?
The larger the molecule, the slower the rate of the osmosis; and the smaller the molecule, the slower the rate of osmosis.
Is it possible for the number of molecules to change as a result of a chemical reaction?
That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.
Why do oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while protein molecules do not?
Cell membrane is semipermeable and oxygen molecules have size required for easy passqge while Glucose molecules do not have that size required for easy passage.
What process will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one?
Addition and polymerization will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one.
Are molecules larger than ions?
molecules generally larger or smaller than ions
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
molecules
Would you expect larger or smaller molecules to be components of a more viscous liquid?
Larger molecules make a liquid more viscous. Larger molecules occupy more space compared to smaller molecules which makes a liquid thicker.

Why would potassium permanganate have a greater rate of diffusion down a agar tube than methylene blue?
Methylene Blue has a higher molecular weight than the compound potassium permanganate. Potassium permanganate has smaller, lighter molecules which diffuse faster than methylene blue's larger, heavier molecules.
Metabolic process that breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones?
Catabolism
