In cells, diffusion moves by facilitated diffusion, active transport, ABC transporters, group translocation or osmosis. Some of these move molecules from a low concentration to a higher and against the gradient.
Simple diffusion moves molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration.
What else can I help you with?
What is the process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration--not to be confused with osmosis, which is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is the purpose for diffusion and osmosis?
There is no real purpose. But they are both forms of particle movement across the concentration gradient (from high concentration). You could say that the purpose is to balance the amount of a certain particle. NATURE HATES HIGH CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES IN ONE AREA! :)
Describe the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Does the food coloring stay at the bottom of the container or does it mix with the liquid above it?
The food coloring will eventually mix with the liquid through the process of diffusion. At the start, all of the dye molecules are close together (so the area that they are in contains a high concentration of dye molecules). As they move around, they eventually move from this area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (the rest of the water). After this process of diffusion is complete, the dye molecules are evenly distributed thoughout the entire liquid (the concentration is equal everywhere).
Why is smoke filling a room diffusion?
The smoke is attempting to reach equilibrium with the system (the closed system being the room), and as such tends to distribute itself relatively uniformly around the room.
What is the movement of particles from an area crowded with particles to an area where there are fewer particles is called?
Diffusion. This is the process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to achieve equilibrium.
Does diffusion go from high concentration to low concentration?
Yes, they move from high, to low.
Diffusion in the states of matter?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In gases, diffusion occurs rapidly due to the high kinetic energy of the particles. In liquids and solids, diffusion is slower but still occurs as particles move and spread out over time.
When particles are moved through a membrane from a region of low concentration to a region oh high concentration the process is called what?
The process is called active transport. It requires energy to move particles against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
In Diffusion Why do particles change locations?
Particles change locations due to random thermal motion, where they move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. This process is driven by the kinetic energy of the particles, as they collide and bounce off one another. Ultimately, the goal is to evenly distribute the particles throughout the available space.
What is the name given to the movement of the particles which causes the mixing?
The movement of particles that causes mixing is called diffusion. It is the process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the particles.
How the particles of the solute move into spaces in between the solvent particles?
The solute particles move into spaces between the solvent particles through a process called diffusion, where they move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs spontaneously until equilibrium is reached, where the concentration of the solute is the same throughout the solution.
For diffusion to occur there must be?
For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
Why do solvent particles flow into the cell when the initial volume is below 50 percent?
I believe it is all to do with diffusion.The solvent particles will move from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration (the cell).
What is it called when particles travel from an area of high concentration to an aera of low concentration?
Through passive transport
Particles tend to move from area of high concentration to an area with low concentration in a process known as?
The term for this is diffusion. If they are particles of water, the term is osmosis.Osmosis takes place through a semi-permeable membrane, like that of a skin cell.When thinking of Diffusion it's best to think of spraying aerosol in one corner of the room, eventually the smell will travel, or diffuse to other areas of the room.
When particles diffuse. from what concentration to what concentration do they diffuse?
Particles diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This is driven by the natural tendency for particles to move from regions of higher energy to regions of lower energy in order to achieve equilibrium.
