what is diffusion
the movement of particles from an area of high voncentration to an area of low concentration
1 of 8
what is the net movement
the particles moving in - the particles moving out
2 of 8
how does CO2 diffuse into a leaf
through the stomata
3 of 8
why does oxygen dffuse out of the stomata
there is a higher concentration inside the leaf
4 of 8
how does oxygen get into the blood
it diffuses throught the cell walls of the alveolli
5 of 8
what is the difference between two areas of concentration called
concentration gradient
6 of 8
how does temperature effect the rate of diffusion
an increase in temperature means the particles move more quickly so the randon movement of particles increases
7 of 8
how does increasing the surface area of the cell membrane increase the rate of diffusion
there is more room for diffusion to take place
