When the concentration of the diffusing substance(s) is equal on either sides. To visualize this a glass filled with water and a few drops of red dye, leave it after a while the dye will diffuse throughout the water and the the liquid inside the glass is red.

What does diffusion mean in body science?

Diffusion in body science refers to the process by which molecules or ions move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, down a concentration gradient. This is a passive process that helps distribute nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body's cells and tissues, ensuring proper functioning and equilibrium.


Substances that move across a cell membrane without using energy?

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. These mechanisms rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules.


What is the mean speed of diffusion of the purple coloration through the water?

The mean speed of diffusion can be calculated by measuring the distance the purple coloration travels over a specific time period and dividing it by the time taken. The rate of diffusion can be influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, and molecular size, which can impact the speed at which the coloration spreads through the water.


What is the effect of temperature at the rate of diffusion?

the collision theoryFaster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy). So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs quicker.

What does it mean for a cell to be equilibrium?

It is after diffusion when the number of molecules is equal in all areas.


What does the diffusion of water mean?

The diffusion of water refers to the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process occurs naturally to achieve equilibrium and is important for processes like osmosis in living organisms.

What do you mean by equilibrium time in sterilization?

Equilibrium time in sterilization refers to the amount of time required for the sterilizing agent to reach a balanced concentration throughout the sterilization chamber, ensuring effective sterilization of the contents inside. It is important to maintain this equilibrium to achieve consistent and reliable sterilization results.


What does it mean if forces are equal?

If forces are equal, it means that they have the same magnitude but opposite directions. This results in a state of equilibrium, where there is no net force acting on the object.

How does equailibriam realate to diffusion and osmosiss?

Equilibrium occurs when no overall change appears to take place.Using the example of evaporation: In a closed container molecules of water will evaporate from the surface of the liquid until eventually no more vapor molecules can enter the air space. That does not mean that the molecules of water are no longer evaporating. They haven't called a meeting and said that's it we won't do this anymore. It means that the rate of evaporation of molecules is the same as the return of molecules to the surface. We could get more molecules into the air by increasing the temperature but eventually the rate of evaporation is the same as the rate of condensation.Exactly the same with diffusion and osmosis. Molecules will diffuse into an area of lower concentration until the concentrations are the same. This does not mean that the molecules/particles then go to sleep. The particles are diffusing equally in each direction so the overall diffusion is at equilibrium.With osmosis, the particles diffuse across a semi permeable membrane until the concentration is the same on both sides. The particles then will diffuse in each direction at the same rate - equilibrium has been reached.


Does random movement of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?

When equilibrium is reached, there is no net motion of molecules. This does not mean that no molecules are moving. In diffusion, this would mean there are equal molecules leaving as are entering.


What is the relation between apparent diffusion coefficient and mean diffusivity on DTI?

Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a measure of water diffusion in all directions, while mean diffusivity is a measure of the average diffusion within a voxel. ADC includes the effects of both isotropic and anisotropic diffusion, whereas mean diffusivity reflects the overall diffusion within the voxel. In DTI, ADC is calculated as the average of the three eigenvalues, which correspond to the three principal diffusion directions and contribute to mean diffusivity.
