HIGH  concentration LOW  concentration A difference in concentration between 2 areas is called a  CONCENTRATION GRADIENT .  What effect might the gradient have on  speed  of diffusion?
Fast Steep concentration gradient Shallow concentration gradient Rate of Diffusion Draw both sets of diagrams, write how the rate of diffusion changes when the concentration gradient changes Slow

The particles are separate when first put together. They slowly start to mix due to their random motion. The particles are now nearly fully diffuse. The particles are fully diffuse. Draw the diagrams next to each other and copy the captions Has diffusion stopped completely? Explain your answer

All living cells rely on diffusion to live. They use it for: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Examples…
Oxygen  in inhaled air diffuses through the lungs and into the bloodstream. The oxygen is then transported throughout the body.  Carbon dioxide   is the waste gas produced by respiration. Carbon dioxide diffuses from body tissues into the bloodstream and is exhaled via the lungs. Where does gas exchange take place in the lungs?
deoxygenated blood (from body tissues) oxygenated blood (to body tissues) air in/out Alveoli  are the tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles, in which gas exchange occurs. alveolus capillary red blood cell
Alveoli have several adaptations that help to make gas exchange very efficient: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
Digestion breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules  such as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids  that can be easily absorbed. Small food molecules are usually absorbed in the   small intestine, diffusing across the intestine wall and into the bloodstream.

A  synapse  is a junction between two neurones across which electrical signals must pass. Neurotransmitter molecules diffuse from vesicles towards the neurotransmitter receptors, moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
