What isit called when a molecule moves across a semipermeable membrane into a region of higher concentration?
When a molecule moves to a higher concentration it needs help of a pump. We call this facilitated diffusion. Osmosis only deals with the movement of water.
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.
Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration
Does carbon dioxide molecules diffuse from where they are in high cocentration to places where there is a lower concentration?
They always travel from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration due to the idea of diffusion. Diffusion definition: the net movement of individual particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration due to the random movement of individual particles.
In order for molecules to move against the concentration gradient?
When you have one concentration (amount) of a molecule, connected to a higher or lower concentration through a permeable membrane (bridge), there is a natural force (heat) pushing the molecules to go from the higher concentration to the lower concentration until both sides have balanced (it is also called diffusion, this process is related to the laws of thermodynamics). Anyway this force the measurement of force for this movement is called the concentration gradient. For a molecule to move against this natural force is to against the concentration gradient, it requires an energy GREATER then that from diffusion or heat to push it. An example would be when there is an opposing electrical force strong enough that may push an electrically charged molecule against its concentration gradient.
What are the two movement of homeostasis?
Which molecule moves to high concentration to low concentration
What process describe the movement of molecule from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion.
What term explains molecule movement to maintain a balance with the environment?
Homeostasis or equilibrium (?)
What type of molecule movement involves the use of ATP?
Active transport. This is movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.
What is the movement of small molecule across a cell membrane up its concentration gradient called?
eflux
What is called when a molecule moves across a semipermable membrane into a region of a higher concentration?
When a molecule moves to a higher concentration it needs help of a pump. We call this facilitated diffusion. Osmosis only deals with the movement of water.
What do people call it when molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration?
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
What isit called when a molecule moves across a semipermeable membrane into a region of higher concentration?
When a molecule moves to a higher concentration it needs help of a pump. We call this facilitated diffusion. Osmosis only deals with the movement of water.
The movement of molecule down a concentration gradient through transport proteins in the cell membrane is a type of?
facilitated diffusion.
The movement of particals from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration is called?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of substances from lower to higher concentration across a semi permeable membrane that must have a specific protein carrier and cell expenditure of energy.
What explains the fact that the net movement of oxygen is always into the cell?
The net movement of oxygen into the cell is primarily driven by concentration gradients. Oxygen concentration is typically higher in the extracellular environment than inside the cell, creating a concentration gradient that favors the movement of oxygen from higher to lower concentration. This allows oxygen to diffuse into the cell until equilibrium is reached, ensuring the cell has sufficient oxygen for its metabolic needs.
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.
