Molecules move from an area from where there is a high concentration to an area where there is a low concentration.

This occurs until equilibrium is reach.

After equilibrium is reached, diffusion still occurs. (but in "equal trade")

Diffusion is caused by the random movements of molecules.

Diffusion can take place if the two substances are?

Diffusion can take place in any substance, cause diffusion means the mixture of gases . In a perfume shop diffusion takes place


A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?

Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.


What is diffusion rate proportional to?

rate of diffusion depends on the concentration gradient, surface area, distance over which diffusion takes place, size and nature of the diffusing molecule.


What happens in the process of facilitated diffusion In what part of the membrane does it take place?

Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process where molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of specific carrier proteins. These carrier proteins are present in the membrane and assist in the movement of molecules like sugars and amino acids down their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion occurs in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.


What is osmosis a type of?

Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.(Biology, chemistry) diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
