Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is 'passive', substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids.
What else can I help you with?
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.
How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?
Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
When particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as?
This process is known as diffusion.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
both need transport protein
What are the types of diffusions?
In Biology there are three types of diffusion. There are simple, channel, and facilitated diffusion.
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
What is driven by molecular energy?
diffusion, simple
