Resource summary
Diffusion
Diffusion in plants
Carbon dioxide gas diffuses in to the leaf
Through the Stomata
Finds its way to the photosynthesising cells
It is then all used up
Oxygen produced by photosynthesis
Concentration is higher in the leaf than the surroundings
It then diffuses out of the Stomata
Diffusion in the cell membrane
Carbon dioxide and oxygen can easily pass through the thin layer of cell membrane
Cell membrane is permeable
Diffusion in animals
Oxygen diffuses across the thin cell walls of the alveoli of mammals
Into the blood
Oxygen travels around the body in the blood stream
Then diffuses across membranes of respiring cells
Carbon dioxide diffuses in the opposite direction
Lungs have adapted to have many alveoli
Thus increasing the surface area available for diffusion
