Diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
diffusion
A
passive net movement of particles from an area of high to low concentration
2
Q
diffusion stop when . . .
A
and equilibrium has been reached
3
Q
concentration gradient
A
difference between and area of high and low concentration
4
Q
the steeper the concentration gradient . . .
A
the higher the rate of diffusion
5
Q
