The process of diffusion takes place all over the body. It is a vital process for the body to maintain the environment in which the cells and organs work. For instance when food is digested and the nutrients that are needed for the normal functioning of the cells are released, they are carried around in the bloodstream until they reach a needy cell whereupon the nutrients diffuse from an area of high concentration (blood stream) to an area of low nutrient concentration (the cell). The medicines that we take are also absorbed in the same way and take effect after a process of diffusion .

Nutrients and waste both enter and leave cells through a process called _____.

babunello [35]

<span>Diffusion. Diffusion is when particles in a highly concentrated area spread out to an area of lower concentration. The membranes of cells are very thin, which allows diffusion of different materials to happen easily. During respiration, oxygen and glucose concentration in the cell is lower than in the surrounding blood. This causes oxygen and glucose to move into the cell via diffusion. Carbon dioxide is produced inside the cell and this makes the concentration of CO2 higher in the cell than in the blood, so the excess diffuses out of the cell.</span>
