Document Summary

Modules 5. 3 5. 6 ---- diffusion and osmosis. The spontaneous movement of a substance downs its concentration gradient from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated. (glossary definition) The tendency for particles of any kind to spread out evenly in an available space. (chapter definition) A region along which the density of a chemical substance increases or decreases. Cells often maintain concentration gradients of ions across their membranes. When a gradient exists, substances tend to move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. ( glossary definition) It is called concentration gradient if there are more dye molecules on one side of the membrane than the other. ( chapter definition) The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. It is call facilitated diffusion to the process that can move across a membrane with the help of specific transport proteins. It is solution with a solute concentration lower than that of the cell.
