• Different Factors Influencing the Diffusion Rate

  The phospholipid bilayer membrane can differentiate which solutes to move in or not. One process by which solutes enter cells is by diffusion, which is the movement of solutes from high concentration to low concentration.

• Osmosis finding the concentration of potato cell sap

  That all depends on what the concentration of solutes is in the potato cells.

• Primary and Secondary Active transport processes

  The movement of particular solutes (sugars, amino acids, etc.) is regulated by coupled transport systems that move these specific solutes against their concentration difference using the energy released by dissipating the concentration gradient of the

• Affects on the rate at which solutes dissolve

  concentration of the solute temperature of the solution surface area of the solute All three affect the rate at which solutes dissolve (dissolution). High concentration of the solute already dissolved slows the rate of dissolution.

• How do substances (ions, proteins, ligands etc. etc.) cross

  It is an example of simple diffusion. Water will move from a region of lower solute concentration (or higher water concentration) to a region of higher solute concentration (or lower water concentration).

• Solution with a Lower Number of Solutes Than the Cell

  47856 Solution with a Lower Number of Solutes Than the Cell Name a solution that has a lower number of solutes than the cell. Hypotonic solution.

• Active and Passive Transport in Plant Cells

  Other important terms: Cotransport: the coupling of the "downhill" diffusion of one substance to the "uphill" transport of another against its own concentration gradient.

• Why is osmosis important to proper kidney functioning?

  In other words, where solutes are in LOW concentration, water is in high concentration.

• Diagram amino acid adsorption in the small intestinal lumen.

  In areas of high solute concentration. Therefore, whereever solutes move, solutes will be in higher concentration at the destination. In such places, water will now be in lower concentration.
