When will water and solutes stop moving across a membrane?
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
Is Diffusion always from areas of greater to areas of lesser concentration?
Yes, diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process occurs in order to reach equilibrium, where the concentration of particles is equal throughout the system.
What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell. As a result, there is no net movement of water, and the cell maintains its normal shape and size.
What is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes stop moving?
The phase of mitosis when the chromosomes stop moving is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the center of the cell along the metaphase plate before moving to separate poles during anaphase.
Does water stop moving?
Water is always in motion due to factors such as gravity, wind, and the water cycle. Even in a seemingly still body of water, there are microscopic movements occurring due to thermal energy and molecular interactions. So, in general, water does not completely stop moving.
Would you expect osmosis and diffusion to the stop when substances are evenly distributed?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion would theoretically slow down and eventually stop when substances are evenly distributed. This is because there would be no concentration gradient, which is necessary for osmosis and diffusion to occur.
When will water and solutes stop moving across a membrane?
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
When molecules are moving back and forth across the membrane will they ever stop moving?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the movement of molecules across the membrane will stop.
Does random movement of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
When equilibrium is reached, there is no net motion of molecules. This does not mean that no molecules are moving. In diffusion, this would mean there are equal molecules leaving as are entering.
Do molecules stop moving after equilibrium is reached?
no,molecules do not stop. whether the change of concentration of the do not take place
Does molecular motion stop when diffusion stops?
No, molecular motion does not stop when diffusion stops. Molecular motion refers to the movement of molecules within a substance, which continues even when there is no net movement of molecules from one region to another (diffusion).
Why doesnt molecules stop moving when diffusion does?
Molecules in a substance are always in constant motion due to their kinetic energy. Even when diffusion occurs and molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, the movement at the molecular level continues due to the inherent energy present. This constant motion is maintained unless external factors, such as reaching equilibrium or a change in energy input, intervene to affect the motion of the molecules.
What happens to the molecules if they freeze?
well obviously atoms cant stop moving even at absolute 0. so the molecules will simply slow down but it can never stop moving
When will water stop moving across the membrain'?
Water stops moving when the potential difference or the diffusion pressure becomes zero on both sides of the membrane.
Diffusion is the movement of molescules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from more concentrated to less concentrated. Think of pouring dye into water it spreads out from a dense concentration of dye to the water surrounding it with little or no die (less concentration). Once it diffuses evenly it reaches equilibrium. It does NOT however stop moving. Source: Biology major
What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?
The molecules of the gas will stop moving.
When can it not get any colder?
absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecules stop moving.
