Potassium per manganate crystals are placed in a 1000 - ml graduated cylinder, and distilled water is added slowly and with as little turbulence as possible to fill to the 1000 - ml mark. Because of its molecular composition, the plasma membrane is selective about what passes through it. It allows nutrients to enter the cell but keeps out undesirable substances. By the same token, valuable cell proteins and other substances are kept within the cell, and excreta or wastes pass _________

Molecules possess kinetic energy and are in constant motion. As molecules move about randomly at high speeds, they collide and ricochet off one another, changing direction with each collision. A concentration gradient is present when molecules are unevenly distributed, resulting in an area of higher concentration and an area of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration. Because the driving force for diffusion is the kinetic energy of the molecules, the speed of diffusion depends on ________
