If diffusion is going to occur there has to be what?

A difference in the concentration throughout space because diffusion doesn't just happen in a cell or aqueous solution by definition diffusion is just from high to low concentration


Why is facilitated diffusion different from diffusion?

A sodium potassium pump is different from diffusion cos, it requires energy (ATP), and therefore is a active transport. Rather then diffusion which is the passive transport of solutions across cell membranes without using energy, and is determined by the concentration gradient.


What cell organelle controls entry into cell?

The cell organelle that controls entry into the cell is the cell membrane. It acts as a selective barrier, allowing only specific molecules to enter and exit the cell through processes like diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis.


Active transport counters the process of diffusion?

Yes, active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport allows cells to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, which is opposite to the direction of diffusion.


Why the line-with-gaps model is not suitable to explain facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.

What is the definition of contagious diffusion?

Contagious diffusion is a branch of expansion diffusion. It refers to a cultural trait spreading across a population like a disease.


What is the definition for diffusion?

Diffusion is one type of passive transport. In Diffusion, molecules move from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffustion does NOT need energy, or ATP.Q: What is the DEFINITION of DIFFUSION?A: Diffusion- a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are more of them to areas there are fewer of them.ur wlcm (: SnazzyChazzy

What is the definition for the word diffusion?

Diffusion refers to the process of a substance spreading out to fill the available space. It occurs due to the random movement of particles.


What is the definition of hierarchical diffusion?

Hierarchical diffusion is the spread of a feature or trend from one key person or node of authority or power to other persons or places.


What is definition of diffusion current?

The diffusion current in a metal-semiconductor diode is derived based on the assumption that the depletion layer is large compared to the mean free path, so that the concepts of drift and diffusion are valid.
