Diffusion Flashcards
What is diffusion
Diffusion is the process of spreading out particles from a higher concentrated area to a low concentrated area
What substances does diffusion happen in and why are they allowed to do so ?
Solutions and gases and they are allowed because there particles are free to move around randomly
What is the simplest type of diffusion?
When gases go through each other
What happens when the concentration graduait increases
The diffusion rate increase
If you increase the temperature while diffusion what happens and why ?
The diffusion will become faster because more particles have move energy to move faster
How do the cell membrane use diffusion
It uses diffusion to allow very small particles of glucose,oxygen,amino acids and water
What do particles do in the cell membrane to deal with high concentration
They move from the high concentrated place to the low concentrated place
How does the cell membrane surface affect diffusion
The lager the surface area the faster the diffusion because more particles can pass though at once
