Concerning the effect of temperature on diffusion the higher the temperature the faster the movement is this statement true or false?

No, it's false. Because temperature has nothing to do with diffusion.
Diffusion is like this, imagine that you are pouring a water on a bathtub, if you pour the water on one side of the bathtub, the water will still go to the other side of the bathtub and then the water will be leveled inside the bathtub. Therefore no matter what temperature it won't affect the movement of water.

How does temperature affect rate of diffusion?
Faster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy). So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs more quickly.
What is the movement of water through diffusion called?
Osmosis is the movement of water across the cell membrane or the movement of water through diffusion. :)
Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
What is the opposite of osmosis?
Because diffusion is the movement of solute particles while osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion is the movement of what substance?
any gas
Why is diffusion faster in summer than in winter?
The rate of diffusion is increased when the temperature is higher (the movement of particles is increased).
Why is diffusion faster in summers than in winters?
The rate of diffusion is increased when the temperature is higher (the movement of particles is increased).
How does low temperature affect diffusion?
I'm pretty sure it would slow down the rate of diffusion, because higher tempuratures increase the rate of diffusion.
Why do you think temperature affect rate of diffusion?
Temperature affects the rate of diffusion, by speeding up the movement of molecules. For example it kind of like when going from water to steam. The water molecule get heat added and speed up, like that of diffusion.

Diffusion is defined as a movement of molecules?
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
What is the movement of molecules from greater to lower?
Diffusion.
Macromolecular diffusion and biological membrane are samething?
It is two completely different things. Diffusion of macromolecules is random movement of macromolecules given by their energy, temperature. And biological membrane is a lipidic membrane.
What is the movement of water through diffusion called?
Osmosis is the movement of water across the cell membrane or the movement of water through diffusion. :)
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
