There are a limited number of proteins in the cell-membrane. Therefore, when there are 5 protein carriers and 20 molecules which need to be transported, only 5 can be transported at any one time... so the leveling off shows it cannot increase any further than 5 ,ie

Is leaves falling off a tree in fall show diffusion?
You Suck because i dont know
How can the diffusion of molecules be accelerated?
If you increase the temperature you give the particles more kinetic energy and diffusion occurs faster.If you stir a substance you give the particles more kinetic energy and diffusion occurs faster.If you increase the concentration gradient there are more particle per unit area bouncing off of one another and diffusion occurs faster.
Why can cells not survive if they are totally isolated from their environment?
Because they aren't getting the nutrients they need through diffusion and osmosis. By isolation, you are cutting them off from there food supply and they will die.
What is the molecule that aids in transport of materials into and out of the cell?
Many things help move materials out of a cell. Diffusion: Diffusion occurs on its own, without assistance from anything. Facilitated Diffusion: Proteins in the cell membrane help move things. Active Transport/Exocytosis: Pumps forcefully remove unwanted materials.

A plateau
Is water running off a hill into a stream diffusion?
Diffusion is to spread something more widely. Water entering in to the confines of a stream is not being spread widely. So I don't think that diffusion is the correct term.
How can you get speed and distance covered by a body from distance time graph?
Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
To create a line graph do you have to start off at the zero?
Yes
Why does pickled beetroot give off fumes when the lid is opened?
Because of diffusion
What occurs when diffusion is complete?
When diffusion is complete, the cells then split in two. Those 2 cells go off on their merry way and start the process of diffusion all over again, thus keeping the species alive. This is a method of asexual reproduction.
What is a column graph?
it is like a bar graph dah hah to be honest i do not know what a column graph im so sad im just kiddin go to wikapedia i know this is a rip off that is so funny
What kind of graph would best show what percentage of the population practiced different religions?
