Is Diffusion made of small or large molecules?
Diffusion is not a substance. It is a physical process. Diffusion is the process where there is a movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce. A more technical definition would be: Diffusion is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
What is the movement of particles of a material from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration of that material?
DiffusionThe movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion. However, the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is specifically called osmosis.
The movement of water from an high concentration to an area of low concentration is called?
The movement of WATER from a high concentration area to a area of low concentration is called osmosis, but the the movement of MOLECULES from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration (like perfume when you spray from a high place) causes it to diffuse.
What is the direction of net osmosis?
Osmosis is the passage of water from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. The direction of movement is from area of higher water concentration to area of lower water concentration.
What is the name of the process where there is a movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until they are evenly distributed?
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
How would diffusion differ from osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
What means from higher concentration to lower concentration?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules (only) from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.
Can you have diffusion without osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of any molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. so yes it is possible to have diffusion without osmosis.
COMPARE osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
What is the movement of materials form a region of higher concentration to a region of lower content?
diffusion
Compare osmosis diffusion and filtration?
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
Movement of ions from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration via a process that does not require cellular energy is?
osmosis
What is chemical diffusion?
It is the passive movement of chemicals from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Which process would describe the movement of sugar molecules through a membrane from a region of higher concentration of a region of lower concentration?
Diffusion
Which process would be describe the movement of sugar molecules through membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis
Does some diffusion require energy?
No. Diffusion is a natural occurrence of the net movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (down the concentration gradient).
