supported by using Fick’s law: rate of diffusion=area x concentration difference/ distance. This formula illustrates that as the concentration difference increases‚ so does the rate of diffusion. Therefore‚ higher concentrated solutions will have a higher rate of diffusion/osmosis. 2a. The purpose of increasing the concentration of sodium chloride was to increase the rate of diffusion. This illustrated that as concentration increased‚ the rate of diffusion also increase. 2b. This experiment

Which of the following is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion? - small concentration gradient In general‚ to maintain homeostasis the relationship between our intracellular and extracellular fluids should

Cell Membrane Simple diffusion is when a small‚ non-polar molecule passes through a lipid bilayer. It is classified as a means of passive transport. In simple diffusion‚ a hydrophobic molecule can move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane without getting rejected. Simple diffusion does not involve a protein. An example of simple diffusion is osmosis. Hydrophilic molecules cannot participate in simple diffusion because they would move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane and be

Both the channel proteins and the carrier proteins are usually highly selective in the types of molecules or ions that are allowed to cross the membrane. “Diffusion” Versus “Active Transport.” Transport through the cell membrane‚ either directly through the lipid bilayer or

Name and describe the three main parts of a cell. plasma membrane-forms a cell’s flexible outer surface‚ separating the cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from its external environment (outside the cell) cytoplasm- consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. nucleus- is the largest organelle of a cell. The nucleus acts as the control center for a cell because it contains the genes‚ which control cellular structure and most cellular activities
