molecules go with the concentration gradient, depending if the cell is hypotonic or hypertonic (research that.)
AnswerBecause the molecules of solute are mutually repelled but are attracted to the molecules of the solvent. They therefore tend to spread throughout the solvent until they are evenly distributed.Actual AnswerMolecules diffuse because they are always randomly moving around (brownian motion). The molecules have no real sense of high or low concentration. It's their random movement that make it seem like they go from high to low concentration.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
The molecules of food and oxygen diffuse into cells. oh and btfw co2 and waste chemicals diffuse ut of cells. im in year 3
Small, nonpolar molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can easily diffuse into the cell membrane due to their ability to pass through the lipid bilayer. Hydrophobic compounds also diffuse across the membrane more readily than hydrophilic compounds.
Sugar molecules do not diffuse through a plant cell membrane because they are too large and polar to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. Instead, sugar molecules are transported across the membrane by specific transport proteins, such as sugar transporters, that facilitate their movement into the cell.
Perfume molecules diffuse in the air to spread their scent across a room. Oxygen molecules in the air diffuse into our blood cells for respiration to provide energy for our bodies.
All types of molecules
Oxygen molecules diffuse across the membrane.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
No.
no because different molecules have different sizes. Smaller molecules will diffuse faster than larger molecules.
The concentration gradient is what causes molecules to diffuse.

The Kidneys
No, smaller molecules generally diffuse more readily than larger molecules because they can move through pores and gaps in substances more easily due to their smaller size. This is why smaller molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide can diffuse through cell membranes more quickly than larger molecules like proteins.
Carbon dioxide, oxygen and some nonpolar molecules diffuse easily.
