This is diffusion. No energy required, molecules do this just based on random molecular motion. Example: a drop of ink dropped into a beaker of water will "diffuse" until it is as spread out as possible.

Is it from high concentration to low that particles move across a membrane move?
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.
What is the natural tendency of molecules to spread from an area high concentration to an area of low concentration?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). A related term: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). In contrast, active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration but DOES use ATP (energy).
Process in which molecules move from and area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
It is Diffusion because it describes the spread of particles through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration ill c u if ur cheating dustin
What molecules need facilitated diffusion to move across the plasma membrane?
the process through which the molecule move from a higher concentrated to low concentrated is called as Osmosis. the same molecule when move from a high concentration to lower one is called as Reverse Osmosis.
Place a check mark next to the box that describes diffusion explain your answer?
Some nutrients move into a cell of diffusion
What motion is the next movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?
diffusion
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from area high concentration to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentration?
Diffusion
Difference between molecular motion and diffusion?
It triggers diffusion because diffusion is the movement of molecules, therefore as soon as the molecules move diffusion begins to do it's job. It will take them from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.
What is thermal motion?
Movement of particles (iron or molecules) from an area of higher concentration to an area.
What is the similarities between osmosis and diffusion?
They both follow the concentration gradient i.e. require no energy for the process to occur. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. See Brownian motion. Osmosis is the movement of WATER particles across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to the lower concentration in the effort to reduce the solute concentration.

What is cell diffusion and how does it work?
Molecules, atoms, ions, or other small particles of whatever sort are moving all the time; there is random thermal motion even when these particles are part of a larger object which is not moving. These moving particles are constantly bouncing off each other, in perfectly elastic collisions in which no energy is lost, so they just keep moving. The result of this random motion is that a concentration of a substance will gradually spread out, unless it is contained in some manner. In summery random motion of a substance resulting in movement from area of high to lower concentration.
What chemical substance would be used to demonstrate Browian movement?
Any small solid particles in motion in a liquid or gas.
The movement of particles?
Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.
What particles in a substance are in motion?
The electrons can be in motion. These are present outside the nucleus.
What movement of the smoke particles tells about movement of air particles that cannot be seen?
Brownian Motion
