during diffusion, how do the molecules physically get from one place to the other? (spaceship tractor beam, winged monkeys)

Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration depending on passive or active transport. Active transport is when the nutrients are actively moving out of the cell and passive is when the nutrients or ‘molecules’ are going into the cell this is because cells have a semi permeable surface. Only letting in specific molecules.

During diffusion, molecules move from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

For diffusion to occur, there must exist a diffusion gradient which is the difference in the concentration of the substance in the two regions.

Therefore, the diffusion gradient is the driving force that allows diffusion to take place.

Some characteristics of diffusion include:

  • Diffusion is rapid when the concentration gradient is large.
  • It slows down when the difference in the concentrations become less.
  • When the molecules (solute) are evenly distributed in the medium (solvent), we say a dynamic equilibrium has been reached.
