In diffusion, substances move from a _____ concentration to a _____ concentration. Select one: higher, lower lower, lower higher, higher lower, higher
Fick's First Law of Diffusion involves 3 key variables that define the ease of diffusion of molecules across a membrane. What are these 3 key variables (not the letter in the equation, but the terms they stand for) and relate them to adaptations in fish respiration. Do not take up space defining the variables, get right to the fish application.
Imagine you are an oxygen molecule. Your job is to get inside the body and deliver oxygen to a working muscle. Create a word flowchart to identify all the structures you will encounter during your passage from the outside air to the inside of a muscle cell. Include a short description of how you will exchange places with carbon dioxide when you arrive at the cell.
Which of the following acts as a passive electrical insulator?a) Myelin sheathb) Plasma membranec) Inner mitochondrial membraned) Outer mitochondrial membrane
. In the lungs, there are steep concentration gradients for oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules such that large numbers of these molecules move across the plasma membrane of the cells that line the lungs. These molecules pass through the plasma membranes by simple diffusion. This process is fast and efficient. Would this process be just as efficient if the oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules passed through the membranes by facilitated diffusion? Why or why not?
Why is the process of diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirement of human beings?
Which of the given below organelle of a cell conduct respiration? 1. Chloroplast 2. Mitochondria 3. Golgi body 4. Nucleus

Which of the following statements about diffusion is correct? It is an active process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. It is very rapid over long distances. It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
