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.
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.
Explain why some substances were able to pass through the membrane while others were not able to?
because some molecules are bigger then othersand won't diffuse into the cell... hope that helps
What best explain the passage of air across alveolar membranes?
diffusion, through moist thin, epithelial cells
What is a model used to explain the components and properties of a plasma membrane?
the answer for Plato is A :]
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
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 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. :)
How does osmosis explain the fact that watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from the side of higher concentration to lower concentration. When sugar is placed on strawberries, the water diffuses across the cell membranes out of the strawberries and mixes with the sugar to form a syrupy substance.
How can you explain the rapid diffusion of Islam?
:D
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.
Explain why diffusion is evidence for particle models?
Diffusion is evidence for particle models because it causes diffusions
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 the part played by the cell membrane in the movement of substances into and out of the cell?
The correct answer is diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which materials enter and leave a cell through the cell membrane.
What model is used to explain the componets and properties of plasma membrane?
The model used to explain the components and properties of the plasma membrane is called the fluid mosaic.
Explain How the location of the Minoans helped lead to cultural diffusion?
