Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ Active Transport There are two ways in which substances can enter or leave a cell: 1) Passive a) Simple Diffusion b) Facilitated Diffusion c) Osmosis (water only) 2) Active a) Molecules b) Particles Diffusion Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms‚ ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. It continues until the concentration of substances is uniform throughout. Some major examples of diffusion

Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion -the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion‚ to areas of low concentration. When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space. Molecules will always move down the concentration gradient‚ toward areas of lesser concentration. Think of food coloring that spreads out in a glass of water‚ or air freshener sprayed in a room

Name:_______________________________________________Date:____ _____Block:______ Diffusion In Agar Cubes Is Bigger Better? OR Is Smaller Smarter? Adapted from Flinn Scientific Publication No. 10110 Introduction: Diffusion is one of the very important processes by which substances such as nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen‚ and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. This activity will help you explore the relationship between diffusion and cell size by experimenting with model “cells.”

Diffusion and Osmosis Worksheet Diffusion is the movement of particles from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. It is a natural‚ random process. This means that it does not require extra energy input. 1a. These are pictures of molecules frozen at two different times. Draw arrows to show the direction each particle might travel due to diffusion in diagrams A and B. A. B. Random arrows Random arrows 1b. Describe the way the particles

up to one group and separates us from other groups. A group that shares a geographic region is called a society‚ while a group that shares a language‚ customs‚ and a common heritage is called an ethnic group. Culture changes over time by acculturation‚ diffusion‚ and innovation; It spreads by religions and language. Culture develops‚ spreads‚ and changes over time. Innovation‚ diffusion‚ and acculturation are the processes of how culture is changing. Innovation is taking existing technology

Fatmata Diffusion Abstract dialysis tubing is‚ made of cellulose because it’s a selectively permeable membrane. In this experiment‚ we are testing to see if the solution in the beaker moves into the dialysis bag. Which because of that‚ Introduction Diffusion and osmosis are two types of transport mechanisms. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration until the molecules are evenly distributed through the area. Osmosis is the dispersion

everyday life. Diffusion and osmosis are processes that are a constant in our lives‚ even though many don’t realize it. Medicaments such as Fervex can be drunk only after diffusion has taken place and the powder granules have diffused into the hot cup of water. On the other hand‚ every day we become unintentional witnesses of osmosis when the roots of the plants try to suck up the water from the soil (1). The purpose of this lab is to show clearly in an understandable way how diffusion and osmosis happen

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air‚ and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient‚ compared with the

Part A: Diffusion on a liquid in a liquid. I did an experiment with three different glasses of tap water from the faucet. All three cups measured the same which happened to be 13 cm from the top of the cup to the bottom of the cup. I let the water settle‚ and sit for about an hour so the temperature was the same for all three cups. I then placed one drop of food coloring into the first glass and waited for the coloring to reach the bottom. I calculated 93 seconds. I then went to the second glass
