Why is it that the greater the density of the solvent the slower the diffusion?
Greater solvent density means more particles in a given volume, leading to more collisions and interactions between solvent particles and solute molecules, hindering their movement and slowing down diffusion. This increased interaction and crowding restrict the movement of solute molecules, making diffusion slower in denser solvents.
How does diffusion coefficient depend on the molecular properties of the solute and solvent?
The diffusion coefficient is influenced by the size and shape of the solute molecule, as well as its interaction with the solvent molecules. Smaller molecules with weaker interactions tend to have higher diffusion coefficients compared to larger molecules with stronger interactions, which leads to slower diffusion. Additionally, temperature and viscosity of the solvent also affect the diffusion coefficient.
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
What are the types of passive transport and how are they different?
Osmosis is the spontaneous movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane. Simple diffusion is the thermal motion of all particles at temperatures above absolute zero. Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions.
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).
What does net diffusion means?
Net diffusion means the total diffusion due to both holes & electrons .
What is diffusion simple?
Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is 'passive', substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids.
when does the net movement of osmosis and diffusion stop?
The net movement of osmosis and diffusion stops when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an equilibrium. At this point, there is still movement of molecules back and forth, but there is no overall change in concentration.
Does net diffusion require ATP?
No, net diffusion is a natural phenomenon that requires no ATP.
How is osmosis realted to diffusion?
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
What is the diffusion of water?
its osmosis Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
