Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) explains the behavior of gases and helps to understand simple diffusion. According to KMT, gas molecules are in constant random motion, colliding with each other and the walls of their container. This motion facilitates the process of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Thus, KMT provides a molecular-level explanation for the diffusion process driven by the random motion of particles.
What else can I help you with?
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
What factors affect simple diffusion?
Factors that affect simple diffusion include concentration gradient (higher concentration difference leads to faster diffusion), temperature (higher temperatures increase diffusion rate), surface area available for diffusion (larger surface area allows for faster diffusion), and characteristics of the molecules themselves (size and solubility).
How can oxygen cross the membrane?
By the process of simple diffusion.
What are the limitation of simple diffusion using the amoeba as an example?
Simple diffusion has limitations in organisms like amoebas because it is reliant on the concentration gradient and does not require energy input, limiting the movement of substances against a gradient or in areas of low concentration. Amoebas may not efficiently absorb necessary nutrients or expel waste in areas of low concentration due to the passive nature of simple diffusion, which affects their overall metabolic processes and growth.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?
diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
What is KMT?
kmt basically means 'kiss my teeth'
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
When was Kmt - magazine - created?
Kmt - magazine - was created in 1990.
Can diffusion energy conversions and protein synthesis relate homeostasis?
yes
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
