What are the 2 types of diffusion and explain fully?
The two types of diffusion are passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Passive diffusion is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the need for a protein carrier, driven by the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of specific protein channels or carriers to help molecules move across the membrane, still following the concentration gradient without requiring energy.
How does Oxygen cross cell membrane?
Oxygen and water molecules can penetrate the cell membrane due to small gaps that are created by the lipid molecules. Lipid molecules overlap each other which makes the gaps. The oxygen and water molecules then enter in the gaps. The cell membrane in this case is semi permeable.
What is a model used to explain the components and properties of a plasma membrane?
The fluid mosaic model is commonly used to explain the structure and function of the plasma membrane. It describes the membrane as a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move laterally, giving the membrane its dynamic nature. The model helps illustrate how the plasma membrane controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
Explain osmosis diffusion passive transport and active transport?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is a passive transport that goes from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area.Passive transport means that there is no energy required to move it.
Explain why some substances were able to pass through the membrane while others were not able to?
Substances pass through a membrane based on their size, charge, and solubility. Smaller molecules, non-polar molecules, and those with a neutral charge are generally able to pass through a membrane via simple diffusion. Larger molecules, polar molecules, and those with a charged nature may require specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their passage.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
How does the cell membrane structure is design and explain how that helps keep water from leaving the cell?
osmosis and diffusion. i hope this answers your question. :)
Explain Fick's First Law of Diffusion?
Fick's First Law of Diffusion deals with diffusive flux. The law postulates that flux goes from high to low areas of concentration with a magnitude that is proportionate to its spatial derivative.
What are the 2 types of diffusion and explain fully?
The two types of diffusion are passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Passive diffusion is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the need for a protein carrier, driven by the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of specific protein channels or carriers to help molecules move across the membrane, still following the concentration gradient without requiring energy.
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, while diffusion is the movement of solute particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion can involve any type of particle.
Why the line-with-gaps model is not suitable to explain facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.
How can you explain the rapid diffusion of Islam?
:D
Explain the relationship between diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis can be seen as a specialized form of diffusion where only water molecules are moving.

What model is used to explain the componets and properties of plasma membrane?
The Fluid Mosaic Model is used to explain the components and properties of the plasma membrane. This model describes the plasma membrane as a dynamic structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move and interact within the membrane.
