That takes energy.

Normal diffusion means that the molecules move away from each other

(in other words ... to where there are less molecules).

How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?

In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please


Do molecules move faster in a liquid?

Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)


Do particles move most rapidly in boiling water or a stream at 110 degrees celsius?

Particles move most rapidly in stream rather than in boiling water.This is because the molecules of gases are loosely arranged than the molecules of liquids.So there will be more free space for the molecules to move in gases than in liquids.


Does boiling water have oxygen in it?

No,boiling water does not have oxygen . Cold water molecules move slowly meaning there is space between the molecules for more oxygen to dissolve. Hot water molecules move rapidly meaning the space between the water molecules is less avalible for the oxygen molecues to dissolve into.


How do particles move from an area of high to an area of low concentration?

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.

Do molecules tend to move into area where there are more molecules?

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


What kind of passive transport happens when molecules move from a area where there more molecules to an area where there are fewer?

Diffusion is the word you're looking for.


What is the process in which molecules move from an area where there are a lot of them to an area where there are a few of them in plants?

Molecules move from an area of higher concentraion to lower concentration by a process called "diffusion." When the molecules move from more to less concentration, it is called a "concentraiton gradient." When molecules move generally in one direction (towards one area), it is called "net direction."


Do molecules move to areas where there are more molecules?

Yes.


What molecules move across during osmosis?

Water molecules are the primary molecules that move across during osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.


What is diffusion in cells?

Diffusion in cells is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs naturally due to the random motion of molecules and does not require energy input from the cell. Diffusion plays a crucial role in transporting essential nutrients, gases, and signaling molecules across cell membranes.


When molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration they move with the?

When molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, they move with the concentration gradient. This movement is known as passive transport and does not require the input of energy.


What type of passive transport is when molecules move from where there are more of them to an area where there are less?

Simple diffusion is the type of passive transport where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy input. It is driven by the concentration gradient of the molecules.


Why do molecules in cold things move more slowly compared to molecules in warmer substances?

Molecules in cold substances move more slowly compared to molecules in warmer substances because lower temperatures reduce the energy of the molecules, causing them to move less and at a slower pace.


What molecules move during osmosis?

During osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Other molecules (solute particles) may also move along with the water molecules if they are small enough to pass through the membrane.


Does alcohol make molecules move?

Heat makes molecules move. Alcohol, if used as a solvent, makes some molecules more mobile.


What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?

Molecules that move by diffusion include oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. During osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
