What else can I help you with?
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.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?
No, facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy for the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What motion of particles across a membrane requires energy?
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Why do dissolved particles on one side of a membrane result in the diffusion of water across the membrane?
When one area has a higher concentration than another area substances move from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration.
Particles moving across a cell membrane without using energy?
Diffusion and Osmosis
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
Equilibrium in diffusion and osmosis is reached when there is a balanced distribution of particles or solutes across a membrane, resulting in no net movement of particles. In diffusion, equilibrium is reached when there is an equal concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. In osmosis, equilibrium is reached when the water concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.
The movement of relatively large particles across a plasma membrane via transport proteins?
... is called "facilitated diffusion".
What is the movement called when a call does not use energy to move particles across the cells membrane?
It is called passive diffusion.
What is the movement called when a cell does not use energy to move particles across the cell's membrane?
It is called passive diffusion.
What is the movement of relatively large particles across a plasma membrane via transport proteins called?
Facilitated Diffusionosmosis & diffusion
Describe how dissolved particles move across a plasma membrane form regions of lower to higher concentrations?
Things move across the membrane from lower to higher concentrations by active transport.
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Solvent particles will move from an area of high concentration to low concentration across a semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is reached. This process is known as osmosis and is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to move from areas of high to low concentration to equalize the concentration gradient.
If there is more solute inside a membrane than outside solute particles will move across the membrane to the?
equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane through passive diffusion.
