Several factors influence cell diffusion. For example, the polarity of the molecule to be diffused and the size of the molecule. Both of these factors may determine whether or not diffusion will be passive or facilitated. The lipid bi-layer of the cell membrane favors lipid soluble molecules and will allow quick passive diffusion of these molecules. Water soluble molecules may need to diffuse through protein channels, lipid rafts phagocytosis or facilitated diffusion. Check Wikipedia for definitions of these processes.

What three factors influence regulation in the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
Can cell shape influence the rate of diffusion of nutrients and wastes?
hmmm????????? bcz of science?????
What controls diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell?
Diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell are primarily controlled by the concentration gradient of solutes. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize solute concentrations. Additionally, the permeability of the cell membrane to different solutes and the presence of transport proteins can also influence the rate of diffusion and osmosis.
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion similar?
Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
What cell part plays a role in diffusion?
The plasma membrane of a cell plays a role in diffusion.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
How does osmosis and diffusion limit the size of a cell?
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
How does diffusion help maintain homeostasis?
Diffusion allows the cell to passively transport the waste chemicals out side of the cell so that the cell is not harmed.
How might temperature or variations in temperature in the human body influence diffusion of materials in cells?
Temperature can influence the diffusion of materials in cells by affecting the kinetic energy of molecules. Higher temperatures increase the speed and energy of molecules, leading to faster diffusion rates. Conversely, lower temperatures decrease diffusion rates as molecules have less energy to move across cell membranes. Optimal temperatures promote efficient diffusion within cells.
What type of diffusion helps glucose enter the cell?
facilitated diffusion
What stops the cell process of diffusion?
What stops the process of diffusion in cells?
