Cell Transport - Diffusion Flashcards

1
Q

diffusion

A
  • Process by which molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
  • This does NOT require energy
  • Examples:
  • Food coloring in the beaker or water
  • Air freshener in a room
  • Depends on random particle movement.
  • More collisions where there is more solute and that will increase movement because of many collisions.
