What can increase or decrease the rate of diffusion?
increasing the surface area of the membrane
Does stirring increase the rate of diffusion?
It decreases it.
Does the rate of facilitated diffusion increase or decrease as the number of carrier proteins increase?
The rate of diffusion should also increase due to the increased likelihood of substrate-carrier complex formation. The rate will increase proportionally with the increase in carriers until a threshold is reached and a plateau in rate will occur. This is designated as Vmax
Why does oxygen diffusion rate increase?
Oxygen diffusion increases as the need increases. It is a matter of supply and demand.
What would heating do to the rate of diffusion of a salt crystal?
the rate of diffusion increases. the increase in the temperature makes the molucules move faster giving space for diffusion to occur and the amount and the time increases.
Does a temperature increase increase the rate of diffusion?
yes the higher the temprature the quicker the rate of diffusion
As partial pressure increases what happens to the rate of diffusion?
Rate of diffusion will increase.
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.
What can increase or decrease the rate of diffusion?
increasing the surface area of the membrane

The rate of diffusion should also increase due to the increased likelihood of substrate-carrier complex formation. The rate will increase proportionally with the increase in carriers until a threshold is reached and a plateau in rate will occur. This is designated as Vmax
What are two ways to increase the rate of diffusion?
Agitation and heat.
Why does oxygen diffusion rate increase?
Oxygen diffusion increases as the need increases. It is a matter of supply and demand.
What would heating do to the rate of diffusion of a salt crystal?
the rate of diffusion increases. the increase in the temperature makes the molucules move faster giving space for diffusion to occur and the amount and the time increases.
How the rate of diffusion principal is used while filling rubber tubes to increase the speed of vehicles?
Explain how rate of diffusion principle is used while filling air in the rubber tubes to increase the speed of the vehicles.
What is diffusion in the villi?
Same as anywhere else on the cell. The function of the villi is to increase the surface area, and thus the rate of diffusion.
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.
