Diffusion occurs via random atomic [and molecular] collisions. The Kinetic Energy that is needed to accomplish this is derived exclusively from Heat. No Heat, or even Warmth, yields no Diffusion.

If diffusion is going to occur there has to be what?

A difference in the concentration throughout space because diffusion doesn't just happen in a cell or aqueous solution by definition diffusion is just from high to low concentration


Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.


What is essential for diffusion?

A- A Concentration Gradient B- A Selectively Permeable Membrane C- A Source of Energy D- A Protein The Answer Is (A) Diffusion can occur without a semipermeable membrane, as diffusion is simply movement of a substance from high to low concentration. A source of energy is needed only for active transport. Proteins are needed if the the particles transported are too big to pass the semipermeable membrane.


A type of diffusion that uses carrier molecules but no energy?

diffusion


What is ATP used for in diffusion?

It's not. Diffusion does not require energy.


What 4 things can speed up the rate of diffusion?

Four factors that can speed up the rate of diffusion are: Increased temperature, which provides more energy to the particles to move faster. Decreased distance for diffusion to occur, reducing the barrier for particles to travel. Larger surface area, allowing more particles to come into contact for diffusion. Higher concentration gradient, creating a steeper difference in concentration that drives faster diffusion.


Why are cytosis affected by change in oxygen and diffusion is not?

Cytosis requires energy, and the production of energy depends on oxygen. Diffusion does not require energy.


Is concentration gradient a form of potential energy?

Yes, a concentration gradient represents potential energy in the form of chemical potential energy. This energy arises from the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane, and it can be used to drive processes like diffusion or active transport.


What drives Facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a passive process whereby a molecule is "carried" across a semi-permeable membrane by a channel or protein carrier. Like diffusion, this process requires no energy, however, since passive diffusion can drive movement against a concentration gradient it is not really diffusion.


What types of diffusion do not require energy?

Diffusion does not require energy. Diffusion is that natural tendency of particles to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentratrion and therefore, it does not need energy to occur.


Why does diffusion require energy?

it just does.


Is energy required for osmoss or diffusion?
