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 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.


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.


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


Is the diffusion rate in oxygen and bromine the same?

Oxygen will diffuse faster as oxygen is a gas and bromine is a liquid


What are two ways to increase the rate of diffusion?

Agitation and heat.


How does having tar covering the walls of the air sacs affect the amount of oxygen the body can receive?

Oxygen moves purely by diffusion. ANY material blocking that diffusion will reduce the rate of diffusion.


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.

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.
