Yes, the partition coefficient can influence passive diffusion rate by determining how easily a molecule can move across a membrane. A higher partition coefficient typically means the molecule is more likely to dissolve in the lipid bilayer of the membrane, thus facilitating faster passive diffusion. Conversely, a lower partition coefficient can slow down passive diffusion.

Is diffusion passive or active transport?

Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.


What influence cell diffusion?

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.
