What is diffusion?
spreading out of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
1 of 19
What is one example of diffusion taking place?
cell membrane
2 of 19
What are three examples of products that have to diffuse either in or out of a cell?
oxygen
carbon dioxide
urea
3 of 19
Outside of the cell what is the concentration like of oxygen?
high
4 of 19
What is the concentration of oxygen like inside the cell?
low and spreads out a lot
5 of 19
Therefore the oxygen will do what?
diffuse into the cell
6 of 19
They oxygen will then produce what in respiration?
energy
7 of 19
However a waste product of this is what?
carbon dioxide
8 of 19
What is the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell?

What is the concentration of carbon dioxide inside of the cell?
low

high
9 of 19
Therefore the carbon dioxide does what?
diffuses out of the cell
10 of 19
Urea is ______ _______ produced in cells?
waste product
11 of 19
It therefore_______ out of the cell into the blood _______ and is _______ by the kidneys?
diffuses
plasma
excreted
12 of 19
What are the 3 factors which affect the rate of diffusion?
concentration gradient
temperature
surface area
13 of 19
Concentration Gradient
----------------------
How does this affect diffusion?
the greater the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion
14 of 19
Temperature
------------------
How does temp. affect the rate of diffusion?
the higher the temperature, the faster the rate of diffusion
15 of 19
Why is it faster here?
Therefore the particles are?
because the particles have more kinetic energy
moving faster
16 of 19
What is another factor?
(surface area)
the larger the surface area, the faster the rate of diffusion
17 of 19
why is this?
more particles are able to pass at once
18 of 19
What is another factor?
the thinner the cell membrane, the faster the rate of diffusion
