Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.

The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.

Which factor most affects the diffusion of responsibility?

The factor that most affects the diffusion of responsibility is the presence of others. The more people present during a situation, the more responsibility diffuses among them, leading to a decreased sense of personal responsibility. This diffusion can result in individuals feeling less accountable for taking action or helping others.


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.

How does the state of matter affect diffusion?

The state of matter affects diffusion rate by changing the spacing between particles. In gases, particles are spread out more, allowing for faster diffusion. In liquids, particles are closer together, slowing down diffusion. In solids, diffusion is minimal due to the fixed position of particles.


What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?

The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.


Where within the body does pressure affect diffusion of a substance?

Pressure increases the rate of diffusion. As the pressure on the membrane increase, attempts to enter the lower concentration increase, speeding the diffusion rate.


What is diffusion rate proportional to?

rate of diffusion depends on the concentration gradient, surface area, distance over which diffusion takes place, size and nature of the diffusing molecule.
