Diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
Some factors that can influence diffusion are:
A
Concentration:
Permeability:
Temperature:
2
Q
Concentration:
A
the difference between concentrations
3
Q
Permeability:
A
if something can get across a membrane
4
Q
Temperature:
A
more energy equals a higher diffusion rate
5
Q
Diffusion:
A
The movement of substance molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
will move until an equilibrium is met (concentration on both sides is equal)
6
Q
Rate of diffusion:
A
how slowly or quickly solutes diffuse
