Recap of diffusion

Diffusion and concentrationWhy can the student smell the sock from a distance?

The sock can be smelt because sweat and other molecules are moving away from it and spreading out in the air. This is called diffusion.

Where is the smell strongest?

The smell is strongest at the sock. The smell becomes weaker further away from the sock.

Changing concentrations

The rate of diffusion depends on several factors, such as the distance the particles have to travel and the difference in concentration.

Molecules diffuse until they are evenly spaced apart and equilibrium is reached.

During diffusion molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They are said to move down a concentration gradient.

Diffusion is a passive process which means that no energy is needed.

What is osmosis?

water

glucose

partially-permeablemembrane

(visking tubing)

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a low concentration solution to high concentration solution, across a partially-permeable membrane.

A partially-permeable membrane has holes in it that permit water molecules through but are too small to allow larger molecules through. Osmosis can be demonstrated using visking tubing filled with a solution and placed in a beaker of pure water.

Dilute vs. concentrated

Concentrated solutions have a low concentration of water molecules.

Dilute solutions have a high concentration of water molecules.

During osmosis, water molecules diffuse from pure water or dilute solution to more concentrated solutions.

Osmosis and cellsPlant and animal cells are surrounded by a partially-permeable plasma membrane. This allows water and other small molecules to diffuse across.

Plant cells additionally have a strong cell wall surrounding the membrane which offers support and protection.

WHY?WHY?

There is a higher concentration of water There is a higher concentration of water molecules inside the potato cells than molecules inside the potato cells than outside. Water leaves the cells by outside. Water leaves the cells by osmosis and the cells become osmosis and the cells become plasmolysed.plasmolysed.

Osmosis and plant cells

Osmosis and animal cellsAnimal cells do not have a cell wall. This means they respond differently to plant cells to the gain and loss of water.

In concentrated solutions, water loss causes the cells to shrink. When this happens to red blood cells, it is called crenation.

In dilute solutions, osmosis can cause animals cells, such as red blood cells, to swell up and burst. This is called lysis.
