In cells, some molecules can move down their concentration gradients by crossing the lipid portion of the membrane directly, while others must pass through membrane proteins in a process called facilitated diffusion. (khanacademy.org)
Here, we'll look in more detail at membrane permeability and different modes of passive transport. (khanacademy.org)
To understand Diffusion and Osmosis, the experiment tested whether the sucrose solution would travel through a membrane or if the distilled water would travel through a membrane. (bartleby.com)

With the effect of the selective permeability of anion exchange membrane to acid and high rejection to salt, acid and salt in solution are separated, and the separated acid solution is reused for production process. (sdtianwei.com)
With the effect of the selective permeability of the ion exchange membrane to ions, anions migrate toward the anode and cations migrate toward the cathode, realizing salt removal in the dilute chamber and salt concentration in the concentrate chamber. (sdtianwei.com)
Because its ion-selective permeability is generally used in applications (the membrane allows cations to pass through and repels anions to move), it is also called ion-selective permeability membrane. (cnnepem.com)
The purpose of these experiments is to examine the driving force behind the movement of substances across a selective or semiperpeable plasma membrane. (bartleby.com)
Those that move passively through the membrane will do so in these simulations by facilitated diffusion and filtration. (bartleby.com)
[2] In contrast, the diffusion of hydrophobic compounds across these barriers cannot be controlled and organisms therefore cannot exclude lipid -soluble xenobiotics using membrane barriers. (bionity.com)
However, the existence of a permeability barrier means that organisms were able to evolve detoxification systems that exploit the hydrophobicity common to membrane-permeable xenobiotics. (bionity.com)
For desalination applications, polymers with simultaneously high waterpermeability and low salt permeability are desirable in order to prepare selective membranes that can efficiently desalinate water, and a tradeoff relationship between water/salt selectivity and waterpermeability provides a benchmarking tool for evaluating the intrinsic water and salt transport properties of membrane polymers. (engconfintl.org)
According to the CO 2 permeation performances of the AAIL-based DN gel membranes, the DN gels membrane with 85 wt% of AAILs showed remarkable CO 2 permeability of more than 5000 barrer and high CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of more than 170 (at 373 K and CO 2 partial pressure 10 kPa). (confex.com)
From the obtained results, it was found that CO 2 and N 2 permeances showed reverse proportional relationship to the DN gel membrane thickness, which clearly demonstrated that the rate-controlling step of CO 2 and N 2 permeations across the DN gel membranes were intra-membrane diffusion. (confex.com)
However, as the rate-controlling step of the CO 2 permeation is intra-membrane diffusion, we could increase the CO 2 permeance by fabricating much thinner AAIL-based DN gel membranes. (confex.com)
Materials move within the cell's cytosol by diffusion, and certain materials move through the plasma membrane by diffusion ( see image below ). (nigerianscholars.com)
Diffusion through a permeable membrane moves a substance from an area of high concentration (extracellular fluid, in this case) down its concentration gradient (into the cytoplasm). (nigerianscholars.com)
Increased surface area increases the rate of diffusion, whereas a thicker membrane reduces it. (nigerianscholars.com)
The selective permeability of the biological membrane refers that different molecule diffuse and passes by the active or passive transport system. (thesciencenotes.com)

The exchange of matter between the interior of the cell and the environment is mediated by this membrane with selective permeability. (texasgateway.org)
Because the plasma cell membrane has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, few types of molecules possess structures that allow them to pass between the interior of the cell and the environment through passive diffusion. (texasgateway.org)
This review covers introduction of membrane includingpolymeric and inorganic membranes, provide recent advancements such as mixed matrix membranes, facilitated transport membranes and carbon membranes which have improved permeability and selectivity. (walshmedicalmedia.com)
This means that ions like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride cannot cross membranes to any significant degree by simple diffusion, and must instead be transported by specialized proteins (which we'll discuss later). (khanacademy.org)
All organisms use cell membranes as hydrophobic permeability barriers to control access to their internal environment. (bionity.com)
Amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs)-based membranes have been recognized as an attractive alternative to conventional facilitated transport membranes (FTMs) due to unique properties of AAILs, such as the high CO 2 absorption capacity, selective reactivity with CO 2 , negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and tunable chemical structure. (confex.com)
The AAILs-based gel membranes as well as supported ionic liquid membranes previously developed in our group exhibited good CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity, but the poor stability under pressurized conditions is a major obstacle to their practical application [1,2]. (confex.com)
Here we present a new class of AAILs-based ion gel membranes with not only superior CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity but also excellent stability under pressurized conditions. (confex.com)
From the trend of the CO 2 and N 2 permeabilities of the DN gel membranes at different CO 2 partial pressures, we confirmed that the permeation mechanism of CO 2 and N 2 were facilitated transport and solution-diffusion mechanisms, respectively. (confex.com)
This adds considerably to the selective nature of plasma membranes. (iprep.kz)
As discussed earlier, nonpolar or lipid-soluble materials pass through plasma membranes more easily than polar materials, allowing a faster rate of diffusion. (nigerianscholars.com)

Biological1
Singlet oxygen causes damage to biological structures within range of diffusion. (medscape.com)
While diffusion will go forward in the presence of a concentration gradient of a substance, several factors affect the rate of diffusion. (nigerianscholars.com)
The closer the distribution of the material gets to equilibrium, the slower the rate of diffusion becomes. (nigerianscholars.com)
Higher temperatures increase the energy and therefore the movement of the molecules, increasing the rate of diffusion. (nigerianscholars.com)
Lower temperatures decrease the energy of the molecules, thus decreasing the rate of diffusion. (nigerianscholars.com)

diffusion: spontaneous movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated. (flashcardstash.com)
Gradient2
The greater the concentration gradient the greater the diffusion rate due to molecules moving from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. (studymode.com)
Diffusion rate is directly proportional to the gradient but also depends on the molecule's lipid solubility, size, degree of ionization, and the area of absorptive surface. (msdmanuals.com)
