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.

the cell membrane


When does diffusion occur across a cell membrane?

Diffusion across a cell membrane occurs when concentrations of a substance are higher either inside or outside the cell.


What process causes water to or leave cell?

diffusion


Does diffusion require the cell to respire?

Diffusion is a form of passive transport, so nothing is required for it to occur.


What are the consequences for a cell if it cannot carryout osmosis and diffusion effectively?

The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways


What process cause the water to enter or leave the cell?

the process that causes the water to enter and leave the cell is diffusion


For diffusion to occur there must be?

For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.


How diffusion will occur?

diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied


When reffering to molecular transport does movement occur across the cell membrane?

yes, it can occur in various ways. (active transport, simple diffusion,etc.)


Where in the membrane does facilitated diffusion occur?

Diffusion will most likely to occur where there is a high concentration of gas or water then the particles distibute evenly to the area of low concentration. for example if you could smell a turkey cooking in the oven from upstairs without anyone telling you.


What requires no energy from the cell?

facilitated diffusion
