2. Diffusion is when molecules of a substance move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Which of the following factors do NOT affect the rate of diffusion? a. particle color b. particle size c. temperature d. concentration gradient 3. What would happen if you gave a patient an IV of pure water? a. Their blood cells would shrink. b. Their blood cells would burst. c. The patient would slowly become rehydrated. d. I would be promoted for my outstanding level of medical care.

Step 1
We know that diffusion is a process influenced by several factors, but the color of particles is not one of them. Therefore, the correct answer to question 2 is a. particle color. Show more…

1) which of the following occurs when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution a. water moves by osmosis out of the cell b. the cell swells c. the cell shrinks d. none of the above 2) How does osmosis different from simple diffusion? a. simple diffusion utilizes energy in the form of a solute concentration gradient, osmosis utilizes energy in form of ATP b. osmosis involves the movement of water, simple diffusion involves the movement of solutes c. simple diffusion moves solutes with their concentration gradient, osmosis moves solutes against their concentration gradient d. osmosis is a form of active transport, simple diffusion is a form of passive transport 3) During the relative refractory period of a neuron, a second action potential is less likely, but not impossible, because: a. the threshold value has increased b. the amount of depolarization required to reach threshold has increased c. the threshold value has decreased d. the amount of depolarization required to reach threshold has decreased

During the process of diffusion, what happens inside the cell? (DOK 1) A. Cells surround and absorb large particles. B. A cell surrounds and gets rid of large particles. C. Particles move from areas of lower to higher concentration. D. Particles move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.
Using the principle of diffusion, a dialysis machine removes waste solutes from a patient's blood. Imagine blood runs through a cylinder wherein diffusion can occur across an artificial selectively permeable membrane to a saline solution on the other side Which of the following statements is correct? a. Solutes move from lower to higher concentration. b. The concentration gradient is lower in the patient's blood than in the saline solution wash. C. The solutes are transported through a symport in the blood cell membrane. d. The saline solution has a lower concentration gradient of solute than the blood. e. The waste solutes are actively transported from the blood.
