Define diffusion
The movement of particles through the air
1 of 9
If particles are clumped together, what kind of concentration will they have?
High concentration
2 of 9
If particles are spread out, what kind of concentration will they have?
Low concentration
3 of 9
What is the concentration gradient?
The difference between high and low concentration
4 of 9
What would make the diffusion rate faster?
A bigger difference in concentration
5 of 9
How do cell membranes allow diffusion to occur?
They have tiny holes that allow dissolved substances in and out
6 of 9
What is meant by partially permeable?
Only certain types of particles can get through (eg. no large particles)
7 of 9
Describe the net movement
Movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration
8 of 9
Why do plants have a lower rate of diffusion?
Because they do not respire as much as animals.
