    Which medium will allow the fastest diffusion?

    <p>Gas, due to very far apart particle arrangement</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Will diffusion be faster when the medium is hot or cool?

    <p>Hot, because particles move faster at higher temperatures</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the movement involved in osmosis?

    <p>Movement of water molecules from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What happens to cells when the environment is dry with very little water?

    <p>Water may move out of cells, causing cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall and potentially leading to cell death</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What do proteins do in facilitated diffusion?
