Diffusion is when molecules move into available space. It’s the spread of something more widely. Substances diffuse in high concentrated area to a low concentrated area. Water is one molecule that can diffuse freely in a cell. Other molecules need assistance through the cell membrane through a process called facilitated diffusion. Osmosis moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. In osmosis water moves in the opposite way. Water flow is determined by the concentration‚ not

Pg. 25 Once drug goes into mucosal cells‚ the concentration gradient will decrease. Blood supply to mucosal cell keeps removing drug continuously so the drug conc is smaller & this (heavy vascularisation) maintains constant gradient so that the drugs are constantly removed into the blood stream pH in stomach about 2 Implication: weak acids absorbed readily‚ weak bases not absorbed as readily Implication: some of the drugs may not be able to suvive that acidic environment. & they may disintegrate

Investigating the effect of surface area to volume ratio on Osmosis As far as living organisms are concerned‚ they are all made up of cells whereas‚ the membrane surrounds all those cells. The cell membrane has the key responsibility to maintain a stable interval environment. Even though‚ Cell membrane is made up of phospholipids bilayer and has that great amount flexibility making it unbreakable while transportation of substances. However‚ certain substances such as‚ dissolved gases‚ sugars‚ salt

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch

pores of the bag. Sucrose was not able to pass through as the molecules were too big to enter. This is similar to a cell because the size of a molecule can determine whether or not the substance can enter the cell through diffusion. Larger molecules will require facilitated diffusion‚ using a transport protein‚ or active transport‚ using a transport protein and also ATP (HyperPhysics.edu). Since water can pass through the dialysis

it takes way of water trying to enter the seed‚ therefore creating a blockage and will become inactive or germinate slowly (cocoponics‚ 2011). Unlike diffusion‚ the mixing of solute particles with water‚ Osmosis is water mixing with solute particles to pass through the cell wall and provide nutrients to the cell. Since osmosis is a type of diffusion that only involves water moving through the permeable membrane‚ salinity affects seed germination through osmotic effects (Bliss et al.‚ 1986). When

Introduction: The reasons for doing this lab are so that we can learn about osmosis with a model similar to a cell and so that we can have a better understanding of the process and nature of osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion but with water molecules. A concentration gradient exists and because of this‚ diffusion of solutes can’t happen. Very select things can pass in and out‚ such as water‚ oxygen‚ and carbon dioxide. In this situation‚ a large molecule of starch would be dissolved in water because the molecule

Diffusion and Osmosis in an egg Low concentration 1.1 Diffusion is the process of molecules spreading from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. High concentration 1.1 Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from the area of low concentration of solute to the area of high concentration of solute. 1.2 Diffusion is important to living cells because it’s the way they take in materials from the environment‚ and they also prevent themselves

Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the
