Most often the term Diffusion relates to gas molecules.
it means that the molecules will escape the highly concentrated area to the area with lower concentration. in the area of high concentration, the number of molecules is huge and they are in constant collision with eachother. In a fixed container, it will result in high pressure. therefore, they want to go to the area that they can relax and no one bothers them, as a result, because of their high Kinetic Energy they are able to escape the area and go to the low concentrated area.
I hope you do not confuse that with Effusion which is the escape of molecules one by one from a whole in container.
it is much slower than diffusion because the molecules have to pass through a whole one by one.
What else can I help you with?
When and where does diffusion happen?
Diffusion can happen anytime and anywhere there is a concentration gradient. It is a passive process where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to achieve equilibrium. Examples include the exchange of gases in the lungs during breathing and the movement of nutrients into cells.
For diffusion to occur which condition must be met?
Diffusion occurs when a substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This will happen naturarally without disruption, But is more common (and will happen faster) in a warm environment.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They both do not require energy input from the cell to occur.
Why does diffusion happen when gases are mixed?
Diffusion occurs when gases are mixed because the gas molecules are in constant random motion. As they move, they collide with each other, transferring energy and causing the molecules to spread out. This results in the gradual mixing of the gases until they are evenly distributed in the container.
What would happen or not happen if diffusion were stopped?
If diffusion were to be stopped, certain processes in living organisms would be affected. Nutrients and waste products would not be able to move through cell membranes, leading to a lack of essential nutrients and a build-up of waste. This could potentially lead to cell damage and dysfunction.
Why does diffusion happen in capillaries?
Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.
What will happen if the net diffusion stopped?
what do you mean
What must occur for diffusion to happen?
two molecules must collied before diffusion happens.
What tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen?
Simple squamous epithelial tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen due to its thin and permeable nature. It allows for the movement of molecules across the tissue through passive processes like osmosis and diffusion.
Dose diffusion happen faster in a liquid or a gas?
gas
What don't the cells need for diffusion to occur?
Cells don't need to use any ENEGRY for diffusion particles to occur/happen
Does diffusion happen best in liquids?
The rate of diffusion is fastest is gasses, but as we can't see the gases ,it can be seen it liquids, but in liquids the rate of diffusion is comparatively slower than gasses and it can be easily observed....
guess and write two consequences that would happen if the materials did not have diffusion property?
no
Why do diffusion and osmosis happen?
they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.
When and where does diffusion happen?
Diffusion can happen anytime and anywhere there is a concentration gradient. It is a passive process where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to achieve equilibrium. Examples include the exchange of gases in the lungs during breathing and the movement of nutrients into cells.
What will happen by process of diffusion?
Diffusion is when the molecules of spread out to where there is less of it until it's equal. Think and watch of what happens the next time you make lemonade with powdered mix.
If diffusion is going to occur there has to be what?
A difference in the concentration throughout space because diffusion doesn't just happen in a cell or aqueous solution by definition diffusion is just from high to low concentration
