* diffusion - as in salt spreading through water by entropy

* convection - as in active mixing

* transport - as in sound or light passing through.
it is called diffusion
Its called diffusion! Like when salt particles mix with water particles when stirred together.

What is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within substances called?

That is called thermal energy, which refers to the vibration and movement of atoms and molecules within substances.


Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is what?

It is sound waves


Is thermal the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves?

No, it is totally unrelated to that.


What is the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?

passive transport


What is it called when the movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?

Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.


The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?

The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. This results in a series of compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.


The movement of energy through substances longitudinal wave is what?

sound


How is energy stored in substances?

Energy can be stored in substances through chemical bonds, such as in the form of potential energy. When substances undergo chemical reactions, these bonds can be broken or formed, releasing or absorbing energy. Additionally, energy can be stored in substances in the form of kinetic energy, such as in the movement of particles within a substance.


The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


What is the movement of objects and substances from place to place is what energy?

Kinetic energy


What is the movement of energy through substance in compression waves?

Energy is transferred through substances in compression waves by causing particles in the material to move back and forth in the direction of wave propagation. This movement results in areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.


What is the movement of material through a membrane?

The movement of material through a membrane can occur via passive processes such as diffusion and osmosis, where substances move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input. Active transport, on the other hand, involves the use of energy to move substances against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins to help transport specific molecules across the membrane.
