Water molecules move with the help of membrane proteins called aquaporins, which regulate the movement of water in an out of the cell. Because of the dual nature of the membrane (hydrophobic and hydrophilic), water doesn't simply diffuse in an out, although a certain percentage can slip in between phospholipids.

Molecules tend to move into areas where there are less molecules. This is called diffusion and can happen with or without energy.


Why do dye molecules move?

Dye molecules move due to the random motion of molecules in a liquid or gas, known as Brownian motion. Brownian motion causes dye molecules to move and spread out to reach an equilibrium distribution within the medium.

Yes.


Do molecules move more and move apart as temp increases?

As temperature increases, kinetic energy of the molecules increases also, making the molecules move faster and move apart if they are able, as in fluids and gases.


When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.
