What causes diffusion of the cell to occur?

Answer 1

Diffusion is a process that occurs naturally everywhere. All molecules and particles that are in an area of higher concentration in a gas or liquid will tend to move to an area of lower concentration. That is diffusion.

Answer 2

Diffusion is one type of transport phenomenon. Diffusion is the movement of particles from higher chemical potential to lower chemical potential (chemical potential can in most cases of diffusion be represented by a change in concentration). It is readily observed, for example, when dried food like spaghetti is cooked; water molecules diffuse into the spaghetti strings, making them thicker and more flexible. It is a physical process rather than a chemical reaction, which requires no net energy expenditure. In cell Biology, diffusion is often described as a form of passive transport, by which substances cross membranes. Diffusion is, in essence, molecules moving around until they're evenly spead out in an area.

Hope this helps :D

Answer 3

Diffusion is when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and occurs only when the cell membrane is (semi-)permeable to that particle. A proper analogy would be stuffing hundreds of people in a crowded room and then opening the door into an empty, adjacent room. People would cross into the empty room where there is more space to spread out. This is what diffusion is like.

Answer 4

Diffusion in cells occurs due to the random motion of molecules. Concentration gradients drive molecules to move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, allowing them to diffuse across membranes. Temperature, size of molecules, and permeability of cell membranes also impact the rate of diffusion.
