SOLUTIONS
◉ Diffusion.
Answer: substances move from an area of higher concentration to an
area of lower concentration until the substances are distributed
equally
◉ Molecules.
Answer: Always in motion
◉ Action of Molecules.
Answer: Random movement is responsible for diffusion
◉ Any factor that effects the random movement of molecules will.
Answer: will affect the rate of diffusion.
◉ Elevated Temperature.
Answer: What will increase the random movement of molecules
◉ Lowered Temperature.
, Answer: What will decrease the random movement of molecules.
◉ How does temperature effect the rate of diffusion?.
Answer: Elevated temperature will increase the random movement
of molecules and lower temperature will decrease the random
movement of molecules.

Answer: What is the diffusion of water molecules (not the solutes
dissolved in water).
◉ Water Molecules.
Answer: What moves down the concentration gradient
◉ Osmotic Pressure.
Answer: What is influenced by the solute concentration.
