Facilitated diffusion

Abraham Baraki 10/30/16 Bio-lab 4 report Angela Dipaolo Introduction Compare Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion is the movement of substances from high concentration to low concentration. In this movement do not occur a membrane. Molecule of gas like perfume it can diffuse and sugar will be dissolve in the cup of coffee. In a diffusion process gradient concentration is high to low Osmosis is the movement of water through the permeable membrane. Osmosis is any the process of substance that…

other and move into different places. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Cells have selectively permeable membranes that only allow the movement of certain solutes. Diffusion is vital for many of life’s functions in a cell. It allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the lungs and between the bodies of intracellular fluid and cells. An example of this process is the diffusion of a smell in a room. Eventually…

The purpose of the experiment was to measure the amount of diffusion that has occurred over three minutes and examine the effect of the surface area to volume ratio using of agar cubes which were infused with phenolphthalein as an indicator that the acid had diffused. Diffusion is a significant process by which substances such as nutrients, water, oxygen, and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. The four different sized agar cubes (0.5cm, 1cm, 2cm, 3cm)…

The iodine lab demonstrated the concept of diffusion, the movement of molecules move from a higher concentration to a low concentration through a semipermeable membrane. In the experiment, we observed a beaker filled with distilled water and Lugol’s iodine solution enter a bag filled with glucose and starch solution through the semipermeable membrane provided by the dialysis tubing. While the beaker remained the same color throughout, the solutions in the bag changed from a clear color to a…

to volume ratio affects its rate of diffusion. The proposed hypothesis was if a big surface area to volume ratio is something very desired by cells that need efficient and fast diffusion for their functioning (Oxygen, water, and waste), then the cube with the largest Surface area will have the most molecules diffused into the agar cube because the more surface area a cube have, the more molecules the agar cube is getting per minute and thus the rate of diffusion will be faster. The experimental…

human body to be in equilibrium we need diffusion and osmosis to regulate the movement of substances. This not only occurs in plants and animals but in humans too. Diffusion is a form of passive transport since it does not require energy, and since osmosis is a specific type of this dispersion it does not require cellular energy as well. Yet it still needs kinetic energy. As small as these two mechanisms are they occur in our body on a daily basis. Diffusion is an extended way of transportation,…

membranes as its genetic makeup contains twenty-four atoms. Chloride Ions are also able to penetrate the membrane as it only contains a single atom. Prediction: If the tube tests positive for starch, glucose, or chloride ion we should see some form of diffusion through the artificial tube that represents the membrane. Once thirty minutes have passed and the water is tested for the molecules concentrated in the tube, we would find that the water has tested positive for both glucose and chloride…

STOP stands for social norms, teach, opportunities, protective, and support victims (CDC, 2016). The diffusion of innovation model (DOI) application is used to spread the awareness and education, while implementing strong guidelines to achieve disseminative communication achievable to sustainable reducing SV (CDC, 2016; Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanath, 2008).…

Diffusion is the process in which molecules blend together because of their kinetic energy (Hyperphysics, n.d.). It is a type of transport located in the cell membrane. Diffusion could also be described as the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The molecules do this because all molecules are constantly moving, so in enough time the molecules will spread evenly. According to figure 1, the cell will make the outside solution the same…

1. What is Diffusion? Give an example of diffusion happening in the human body. Diffusion happens when molecules disperse themselves evenly throughout an enclosed area by colliding with other molecules (Wood, 2013, ex. 6). Because the molecules are not using ATP to move, simple diffusion is considered a passive mechanism of transport. Until the substance is equally distributed across the area it is contained in, it will continue to diffuse (Wood, 2013, ex. 6). Once the substance is equally…
