What happens to the cell during diffusion?

Diffusion is when the molecules of spread out to where there is less of it until it's equal. Think and watch of what happens the next time you make lemonade with powdered mix.


In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?

Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.


What macromolecule is involved in facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion involves the transport of molecules across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. These transport proteins are typically made up of proteins, which are macromolecules. Therefore, macromolecules involved in facilitated diffusion are proteins.


What are the limits to diffusion as a means of transport for living organisms?

Diffusion becomes ineffective for larger distances or larger organisms because it is a slow process that relies on random movement of particles. Additionally, diffusion is not efficient for transporting materials against a concentration gradient, such as from low to high concentration. In larger organisms, diffusion is often supplemented by other transport mechanisms like circulatory systems to overcome these limitations.


Is diffusion passive or active transport?

Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.

What is the description of the process of diffusion?

During diffusion, the random motion of atoms causes them to spread out gradually.


What happens during diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. This process occurs passively, without the need for energy input, and allows for nutrients, gases, and wastes to be exchanged across cell membranes. Diffusion is essential for maintaining cell homeostasis and proper function in living organisms.


What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrrane during the process of diffusion?

The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.
