Cell Transport - Diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
diffusion
A
- Process by which molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
- This does NOT require energy
- Examples:
- Food coloring in the beaker or water
- Air freshener in a room
- Depends on random particle movement.
- More collisions where there is more solute and that will increase movement because of many collisions.
2
Q
concentration
A
- Mass of the solute in a given volume of solution or mass/volume
- Expressed as g/L or equivalent
