Lesson#1
This deck explains diffusion, a fundamental process for moving substances in biology. We'll start with the official definition, which is important to know for your exams.
Lesson#2
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This happens as a result of the random movement of particles.
Quiz#3
Complete this definition: Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration...

to a region of lower concentration

Quiz#4
What term describes the overall movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a lower one?

net movement

Lesson#5
But why do these particles move at all? All molecules and ions have their own energy of movement, which is called kinetic energy. This kinetic energy causes them to move around randomly, bumping into each other and spreading out.
Quiz#6
What causes the random movement of particles that leads to diffusion?

their kinetic energy
