Besides the concentration of the chemical, the pore size of the plasma membrane, and the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm - nothing else influences the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane.
Diffusion across a cell membrane occurs when concentrations of a substance are higher either inside or outside the cell.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
distance involved =diffusion at short distances occurs at a greater rate than diffusion at long distances area involved= diffusion over short distance occurs at a greater rate than diffusion over long distances Barriers=thicker barriers slow down rates of diffusion
osmosis is a special type of diffusion that involves water moving across a cell membrane hopefuly this helped :)
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.

No, facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
Osmosis is the special form of diffusion that applies only to water. It is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
