Where and when does diffusion occur?

Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.


What gas moves into or out of cell diffusion?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide move into and out of cells through diffusion. Oxygen diffuses into cells to be used in cellular respiration, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of cells as a waste product of this process.


What is diffusion of oxygen all about?

Diffusion is the main method by which molecules move across the cell membrane. during diffusion, molecules move from an area of higher concentration, to an area of lower concentration. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the transport of water from an area of high concentration, to an area of low concentration water moves inside and inside of the cell membrane by osmosis. osmosis is the diffusion of water!


How is diffusion used when cells remove carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells from a higher to lower concentration across the cell membrane. Then the CO2 moves through the capillary wall across the diffusion gradient. The diffusion process is repeated at the capillary/alveolar junction.
