•Diffusion is the net movement of molecules (or Diffusion is the net movement of molecules (or ions) from a region of their high concentration to ions) from a region of their high concentration to a region of their lower concentration.a region of their lower concentration.

The molecules move down a The molecules move down a concentration gradient.concentration gradient.

Molecules have Molecules have kinetic energykinetic energy, which makes them , which makes them move about randomly. move about randomly.

As a result of diffusion molecules reach an As a result of diffusion molecules reach an equilibrium equilibrium where they are evenly spread out.where they are evenly spread out.This is when there is no net movement of molecules This is when there is no net movement of molecules from either side.from either side.


DIFFUSIONDIFFUSIONDiffusion is a PASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural kinetic energy.

What determines the rate of diffusion?What determines the rate of diffusion?There 4 factors:There 4 factors:

The steepness of the concentration gradientThe steepness of the concentration gradient. The bigger . The bigger the difference between the two sides of the membrane the difference between the two sides of the membrane the quicker the rate of diffusion. the quicker the rate of diffusion.

TemperatureTemperature. Higher temperatures give molecules or ions . Higher temperatures give molecules or ions more kinetic energy. Molecules move around faster, so more kinetic energy. Molecules move around faster, so diffusion is faster.diffusion is faster.

The surface areaThe surface area. The greater the surface area the . The greater the surface area the faster the diffusion can take place. This is because the faster the diffusion can take place. This is because the more molecules or ions can cross the membrane at any more molecules or ions can cross the membrane at any moment.moment.

The type of molecule or ion diffusingThe type of molecule or ion diffusing. Large molecules . Large molecules need more energy to get them to move so they tend to need more energy to get them to move so they tend to diffuse more slowly. Non-polar molecules diffuse more diffuse more slowly. Non-polar molecules diffuse more easily than polar molecules because they are soluble in the easily than polar molecules because they are soluble in the non polar phospholipid tails.non polar phospholipid tails.

EndocytosisEndocytosis is the case when a molecule causes the cell membrane to is the case when a molecule causes the cell membrane to bulge inward, forming a vesicle. bulge inward, forming a vesicle. PhagocytosisPhagocytosis is the type of is the type of

endocytosis where an entire cell is engulfed. Pinocytosis is when the endocytosis where an entire cell is engulfed. Pinocytosis is when the external fluid is engulfed. Receptor-mediated endocytosis occurs when external fluid is engulfed. Receptor-mediated endocytosis occurs when the material to be transported binds to certain specific molecules in the the material to be transported binds to certain specific molecules in the membrane.
