What is necessary for simple diffusion?
For simple diffusion to occur, a concentration gradient must exist where a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, the cell membrane must be permeable to the substance diffusing, allowing it to pass through freely.
How is osmosis similar to simple diffusion?
Osmosis and simple diffusion both involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the need for energy input. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, while simple diffusion can involve any type of molecules diffusing through a membrane.
What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?
The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
How do substances like co2 and water move in and out of the cell?
By the process of diffusion and osmosis.
What is epithelium for rapid diffusion of oxygen?
Simple squamous epithelium is best suited for rapid diffusion of oxygen due to its thin structure and single layer of flat cells. This type of epithelium allows for efficient exchange of gases by facilitating diffusion across its surface.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
both need transport protein
What are the types of diffusions?
In Biology there are three types of diffusion. There are simple, channel, and facilitated diffusion.
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
What is driven by molecular energy?
diffusion, simple
