Why a cut in water looks worse than a cut on land in terms of diffusion and the movement of particles?

In water, blood spreads quickly through the sea, by diffusion, however, this does not happen on land.

What is diffusion in science terms?
In biology, diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. Diffusion is the free movement of particles in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.
What is the definition of diffusion in scientific terms?
Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their Kineti energy of random motion
What is solid in terms of arrangement of particles?
Anything that has particles that are closely packed together. Examples: * A cup * A bowl * A lightbulb * A faucet * A microwave * A shirt
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.
Which terms best describes the rate of movement of carbon between reservoirs?
constant
What is diffusion in science terms?
In biology, diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. Diffusion is the free movement of particles in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.
The movement of molecules from high concentration to low concetration?
Well there are several terms to describe that process depending on the circumstances. These terms include osmosis, diffusion, convection and advection
How are osmosis and diffusion similar to homeostasis?
tecnicly, they arn't osmosis (in terms of life) is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane diffusion is the natral movement of particls from a higher consintration to a lower consintration.
What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion in terms of solute and solvent?
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (ex. tea flavoring moving from an area of high to low concentration in hot water.)
What is diffusion and how does it occur?
Diffusion is the movement and spreading of substance throughout its location. For example if you spray perfume on one side of the room the scent will spread throughout the entire room. Mass transfer is similar because its the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. Going back to our perfume example, there was a high concentration of perfume particles where you sprayed the perfume and a low concentration on the other side of the room, the molecules moved from the area with a high concentration to the area with a lower concentration.
What rhymes with illusion in cell terms?
diffusion
What is convention in terms of science?
the process that transfers energy by the movement of large numbers of particles in the same direction within a liquid or gas.
Are diffusion and osmosis the same process?
No osmosis is actually a special term used just for the movement of water across a cell membrane. We don't use that term for anything else. Diffusion is for the movement of other substances but not always involving a cell membrane. For example, scent can diffuse in the air. Science tends to be like this but it is important to use exact terms.
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling in terms of the movement of the liquid's particles in each case?
The difference is because the movement while evaporating something is that the particles get colder and move faster while boiling gets hotter and hotter and can go back to being normal water.
What is the definition of diffusion in scientific terms?
Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their Kineti energy of random motion
Describing the terms of the movement and the energies of the water particles what happens to evaporation?
Evaporation explanation is that the kinetic energy of molecules at the surface allows some molecules to escape in the atmosphere.
How is the temperature of a substance related to the energy of a movement of the particles in a substance?
It is hard to exactly define temperature in terms of such things - but roughly speaking, the temperature is the average kinetic energy (energy of movement) per particle, per degree of freedom.
