What is the natural tendency of molecules to spread evenly through a room?
Diffusion
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.
Do smells travel through the air by?
through your nose your snotty smelly nose x
What is the difference between bulk motion and diffusion?
The difference between the two is that bulk motion is the flow through the capillary. Diffusion is the movement of the molecules in a fluid.Ê
Why do scientists use two separate terms to describe diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion describes dispersion of a contaminant through a bulk fluid. Osmosis describes dispersion of a contaminant through a membrane or divider of some sort.
What is the natural spreading particles through liquids and gases called?
Diffusion
What single characteristic of the semipermeable membrane used in the laboratory determines the substances that can pass through them?
The size of the membrane pores determines which molecules can pass through.
How do liquids go through cell membrane?
Fluid moves into the cell through a passive process known as diffusion. Osmosis is the special name given to the diffusion of water across the semi-permeable membrane of the cell.
Why do you think diffusion of ions through these channels is generally a slower process than diffusion through the lipid bilayer?
Nope. It Is diffusion
What characteristic of seismic waves tells you that the composition of earth is solid?
The fact that some of the seismic waves are transverse. Transverse (mechanical) waves can't travel through a gas, nor through most liquids.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Is osmosis diffusion through water?
yes osmosis is diffusion through water diffusion is a random movement of molecules from a high area of pressure to a low area of pressure
What is the process when a substance is spread through a gas?
Diffusion (technically molecular diffusion)
Which process is responsible for the distribution of pheromones through the air?
Diffusion or osmosis.
