16
Q

Define diffusion

A

The spreading of particles from an area of high concentration, to a lower concentration.

17
Q

Diffusion occurs spontaneously due to…

A

The random movement of fluid particles(kinetic energy).

18
Q

The greater difference in concentration…

A

The faster the rate of diffusion.

19
Q

Why does a greater concentration difference mean the rate of diffusion is higher?

A

There’s a steeper concentration gradient.

20
Q

Why can amino acids diffuse through a cell membrane but proteins can’t?

A

Because the amino acids are relatively small molecules and proteins are too large.

21
Q

How does oxygen, used for respiration, pass through the cell membrane?

A

Diffusion.

22
Q

If there’s a difference in concentration, anything dissolved in a solution……diffuse.

A

CAN diffuse.
