Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: Increasing the number of membrane carriers and the concentration. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: Because Urea was

both the phospholipid layers points into the centre of the membrane‚ protected from the water. The phospholipid bilayer has important roles in the plasma membrane‚ such as allowing lipid-soluble substances to enter and leave the cell via diffusion and to stop water soluble substances from entering and leaving the cell. This is also what makes the membrane flexible. Another component of the plasma membrane are proteins. There are two types; extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic proteins occur

Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

1. Answer the questions on slide 2 What are macronutrients? • Macronutrients are nutrients that come in large amounts. They include water‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats. What are micronutrients? • Micronutrients are nutrients that come in small amounts. They include minerals and vitamins. How are minerals defined? What functions do they play? • Minerals are essential for the function of our cells. They are inorganic because they don’t contain any carbon. Minerals help your muscles‚ bones‚ blood

in an area and a large number is another area and they have no barrier between them the random motion causes numbers to even up; this is called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The concentration gradient is when the concentration is different for each region. The faster the rate of diffusion depends on the greater the concentration gradient. A state of equilibrium is when the number of molecules becomes evenly distributed and the net

substances can move across the cell membrane and in which then helps in the function of the body (cells‚ tissues and organs) overall. There are 3 processes that a substance can move across the membrane‚ theses are diffusion (simple and facilitated)‚ osmosis and active transport. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive processes‚ which mean they do not need energy to occur‚ whereas active transport does require energy. All three processes are involved in many functions of the body‚ including photosynthesis
