Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Warmer temps increase ion diffusion in a neuron
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With an increase in temperature, the appearance time of a given fluctuation of the thermal vibration energy decreases nonlinearly, increasing the diffusion rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Increased temperature is generally thought to enhance neuronal responsiveness and excitability by upregulating a variety of synaptic and neuronal functions [10].

Detailed explanation-3: -When temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles has increased. The increased motion of the particles causes them to diffuse faster. Therefore, at higher temperatures, the rate at which fluid particles will diffuse is faster than at lower temperatures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the energy and therefore the movement of the molecules, increasing the rate of diffusion. Lower temperatures decrease the energy of the molecules, thus decreasing the rate of diffusion. Solvent density: As the density of a solvent increases, the rate of diffusion decreases.
