DIFFUSION Flashcards
1
Q
What is diffusion?
A
The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. It is a random, passive process.
2
Q
What are three factors that affect the rate of diffusion?
A
temperature, space, concentration gradient
3
Q
What temperature leads to faster diffusion?
A
HIGH
4
Q
what gradient leads to faster diffusion?
A
LARGE GRADIENT
5
Q
what amount of space leads to faster diffusion?
A
SMALL SPACE/DISTANCE
6
Q
A larger SA to volume ratio leads to ………… diffusion
A
FASTER
7
Q
is diffusion going up or down the concentration gradient?
A
DOWN
