Why an increase in temperature would increase the rate of diffusion of substance into or out of cells?

Alternatively, you've simply increased the temperature to such a degree that the cell membrane lyses -- then you've got a diffusion problem for sure. Molecular biologists commonly use a less severe method called 'heat-shock' to introduce DNA into cells.

How does increased temperature affect rate of diffusion?
Temperature (heat) is the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules that make up something. The more kinetic energy they have, the more they move around. As they move around they are "diffusing" in that they may end up in a different place to their start point. So increased temperature increases the rate of diffusion.
What are the long term effects of increased oxygen diffusion rate?
An increase in diffusion rates in tissues favours oxygen movement from the capillaries to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the cells to the blood. Also With some training these rates increase, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse more rapidly.
Defective carrier molecules and the effects?
This would slow down the persons molecules diffusion rate. This would also slow down the diffusion times.
How do the cells of the hydra get oxygen?
Hydra cells get oxygen through diffusion.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells

What is the cell that are brought by droplets of water and a dissolved substance?
The cells that are brought by droplets of water and a dissolved substance is called diffusion.
How might temperature or variations in temperature in the human body influence diffusion of materials in cells?
ok just answer question????
Where in animals does diffusion take place?
Diffusion happens in every plant and animal cell. It occurs through the membrane of each and every cell in the organism.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane but most of what is called osmosis in cells is actually due to a what related proccess?
Diffusion and Convection. In molecular diffusion, the moving entities are small molecules. Diffusion is the thermal motion molecules at heated temperature. Diffusion rate is a function of only temperature, and is not affected by concentration. I do believe this answer is most likely wrong.
Which substance carries glucose from the small intestine to all the other cells in the body?
A process known as diffusion. The plasma in your blood.
Why can't an increase in temperature be used to speed in reactions in cells?
because a in crease in temperature slows down cells the colder the faster the cells will move around
Why can't an increase in temperature be used to speed up reaction in cells?
because a in crease in temperature slows down cells the colder the faster the cells will move around
How does a polar substance get across a cells plasma membrane without the expendture of energy assuming it is more concentrated outside the cell?
Facilitated diffusion
