Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. With diffusion no energy is required and it is caused by kinetic energy. The rate of diffusion can be affected by many things including temperature‚ molecular weight‚ and movement. To test the rate of diffusion a drop of dark food coloring was added to a glass of tap water and it was timed to see how long it took for the drop to reach the bottom of the glass. This procedure was repeated three

DIFFUSION REVIEW WORKSHEET 1. Define diffusion and what causes it to occur? The action of spreading the light from a light source evenly so as to reduce glare and harsh shadows. Diffusion is caused when entities are small and moving in molecules. They collide because they are moving at a random pace. The temperature causes diffusion. 2. Define the terms hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic solution. * Hypertonic: Having increased pressure or tone‚ in particular. * Hypotonic:

Why is diffusion of innovation and technology important? When I think of diffusion of innovation and technology‚ I think of evolution or how a product‚ idea or theory goes from a thought in someone’s mind to an actual working process and then through time develops into better products to meet society’s needs and wants. Many times certain societies have a special trait‚ characteristic or ability that enables them to be great at certain types of technology or maybe they produce certain products that

October 12‚ 2012 Diffusion and Osmosis Shown In Solutions Section 1: Abstract This lab‚ title Diffusion and Osmosis‚ was centered around the diffusion across a cellular membrane and how exactly materials move and diffuse in concentrations. Both diffusion and osmosis are forms of movement that are part of passive transport dealing with cell membranes. Diffusion is where the solutes move from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. Water goes through the cell membranes by diffusion. Osmosis is

Biology A - Assignment 1: Cell Membranes and Temperature Background Theory Beetroot contains betalain pigments within it’s vacuole‚ which gives it it’s purple-red colour‚ it’s this pigment which leaks out as the beetroot is heated and the cells membrane begins to break down. The practicals aim is to show the effect of temperature on the cell membrane by observing the colour change of the water the beetroot was placed in. The cell membrane is important as it controls the substances enters and
