Is Diffusion always from areas of greater to areas of lesser concentration?

During diffusion water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration, when it balances out it tends to stop.


What ions must routinely move across cellular membranes?

Through diffusion, or facilitated diffusion via protein channels, or active transport via protein channel pumps (active transport goes against the concentration gradient) Most cells in our bodies use active transport to maintain electrolytic balances.

What is an example of Osmosis?

when salt water is added to an elodea leaf and all the chloroplasts within the cell moves to the outside of the cell or to the center of the cell. It balances the water A red blood cell is placed in fresh water. There are more free water molecules outside the plasma membrane then inside the cell, so osmosis occurs- water diffuses through the blood cell (causing it to swell and burst). the movement of water from an area of lesser concentration to one of greater concentration Also when you soak rice the starch from the rice goes into the water causing the Change of color


If cells are placed in a isotonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable what could happen?

If the solution is hypotonic, that means that the concentration is less than that in the cell. Interestingly, despite the impermeability of the solute, the water still rushes into the cell to try and correct the imbalance, which causes the cell to swell and eventually burst.

How do you calculate monthly average balance?

Monthly average balance is the sum of daily balances in a month divided by the number of days in that month.

The definition is: the daily ledger balances less uncollected checks divided by the number of days in a period.


How does checks and balances influence your government?

the founding fathers set up the checks and balances so that no particular branch of the governemtn got too powerful. checks and balances pretty much make the branches of government enemies of each other because in order to get anything done, you have to go through the other brnches.
