How do diffusion and osmosis affect cells?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, which helps cells take in nutrients and get rid of waste. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, allowing cells to maintain their internal balance of water and solutes. Together, diffusion and osmosis are essential processes for cells to function properly and maintain homeostasis.
What is the process by which substances enter and leave cells and become distributed within cells?
Substances enter and leave cells through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis. Once inside the cell, substances can become distributed within cells through diffusion, cytoplasmic streaming, vesicular transport, and interactions with organelles.
When does diffusion of nutrients among cells of an organism cease?
Diffusion of nutrients among cells of an organism ceases when all cells have reached an equilibrium where nutrients are evenly distributed and there is no longer a concentration gradient driving the diffusion process. This typically occurs when all cells have sufficient nutrients and there is no need for further transfer.
How might temperature or variations in temperature in the human body influence diffusion of materials in cells?
Temperature can influence the diffusion of materials in cells by affecting the kinetic energy of molecules. Higher temperatures increase the speed and energy of molecules, leading to faster diffusion rates. Conversely, lower temperatures decrease diffusion rates as molecules have less energy to move across cell membranes. Optimal temperatures promote efficient diffusion within cells.
What impact does osmosis and diffusion have on life?
Osmosis and diffusion are essential biological processes that allow for the movement of important molecules such as water, ions, and nutrients into and out of cells. They help maintain proper cell function, hydration, and nutrient uptake, enabling organisms to survive and thrive. Any disruption in osmosis and diffusion can have detrimental effects on cells and organisms.
What stop the process of diffusion?

What stops the cell process of diffusion?
What stops the process of diffusion in cells?
Single cells split into 2 cells. what process is this?
Diffusion
Why is diffusion?
Diffusion takes away carbon dioxide and unwanted waste from the cells.
What is the diffusion of water into and out of the cells?
osmosis
How does oxygen get to body cells?
diffusion
What don't the cells need for diffusion to occur?
Cells don't need to use any ENEGRY for diffusion particles to occur/happen
Does cell membrane regulates diffusion in both plant and animal cells?
regulates diffusion
Movement of chemicals into or out of cells?
diffusion or osmosis
Oxygen is carried into cells by what movement?
diffusion
How do cells take in useful gases?
Diffusion.
Why do cells use the process of diffusion?
Diffusion is essential for cells to bring nutrients and releasing wastes without spending energy.
