The actual extent of the diffusion of molecules across biologic membranes is caused by the interaction between the composition and the structural arrangement of the membrane and by the physico-chemical characteristics of the permeant. For the sake of simplification, the primary structural element of a...
including worms, goldfish and men, surfactants can both increase and decrease the rate, of drug diffusion across membranes2–4, and although at low concentrations they enhance biological
Part 2: Diffusion across a Semipermeable Membrane Because of its structure, the cell membrane is a semipermeable membrane. This means that SOME substances can easily diffuse through it, like oxygen, or carbon dioxide. Other substances, like glucose or sodium ions, are unable to pass through the ...
Carrier-mediated transport implies transport across a cell membrane using a specific carrier. If the transport is down a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration, this is known as facilitated transport, e.g. the uptake of glucose by the muscle cell,...

Diffusion is the process where solutes move from an area where they are in low concentration to an area where they are in high concentration. This occurs in our cells as well; solutes move across the membrane towards the area they are in low concentrat...
Both diffusion across the membrane of the secondary lamellae and diffusion inside the water flowing through the interlamellar spaces may limit gas exchange in fish gills. For both component processes, this limitation is expected to be higher for O2 than for CO2 because of the lower solubility of...
(fluids), often across a semi-permeable membrane. The unequal concentration of the particles between two fluids will generate a gradient that will incite them to move in order toequalizethe disparity in concentrations. Nevertheless, the movement of solutes during the diffusion process is not a one...
Part 1. Diffusion Across a Semi-Permeable Membrane: Dialysis Procedure Cut a piece of dialysis tubing, approximately 10 cm. Soak the dialysis tubing for about 5 minutes prior to using. Tie off one end of the tubing with dental floss. ...
How does the polarity of charge of a solute molecule affects diffusion across a membrane?Question:How does the polarity of charge of a solute molecule affects diffusion across a membrane?The Cell Membrane:The cell membrane is called a lipid bilayer because it is made of ...
