Factors affecting diffusion are:
1) Temperature: The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of diffusion.
Example: Put potassium permanganate in a beaker with water (room temp.) and do the same in a beaker with water (boiled). The potassium permanganate would spread faster in hot water.
2) Size of particle: The bigger the particle, the higher the energy to diffuse.
3) State of matter: Solids take more time to diffuse compared to liquids, liquids take more time to diffuse compared to gases, and gases take less time to diffuse compared to liquids and solids.
Example: Light an incense stick. The smell of the smoke (from the stick) would reach you as soon as it is burned. The smoke diffused very fast.
4) Nature of matter: The denser the matter, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Example: Honey in water would diffuse slower than ink in water. (Honey is denser than ink.)

What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
What environmental factors affect diffusion?
Diffusion is affected by various environmental factors, like temperature.
What type of diffusion helps glucose enter the cell?
facilitated diffusion
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
What factors affect simple diffusion?
Factors that affect simple diffusion include concentration gradient (higher concentration difference leads to faster diffusion), temperature (higher temperatures increase diffusion rate), surface area available for diffusion (larger surface area allows for faster diffusion), and characteristics of the molecules themselves (size and solubility).
What three factors influence regulation in the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
Is facilitated diffusion limited by osmotic pressure?
Yes, facilitated diffusion can be limited by osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure can build up when there is a concentration gradient across a membrane and can affect the movement of molecules through facilitated diffusion by influencing the direction and rate of diffusion.
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
What environmental factors affect diffusion?
Diffusion is affected by various environmental factors, like temperature.
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?
No, glucose enters a cell most rapidly through facilitated diffusion with the help of glucose transporters, such as GLUT proteins. Facilitated diffusion allows glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell without requiring energy.
What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?
facilitated diffusion.
