DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The smaller the surface area of the membrane, the ____ the particle will pass.
A
Faster
B
Slower
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly. The greater the surface area, the faster the rate of diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The surface area of the membrane affects the rate of diffusion. As the surface area of the membrane increases, the rate of diffusion also increases, as there is more space for molecules to diffuse across the membrane. Distance. The shorter the distance the substances have to move, the faster the rate of diffusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration, and this process is very common in a cell. The smaller the cube, the higher the efficiency of diffusion because the surface area to volume ratio is more proportional.

Detailed explanation-4: -Surface area and thickness of the plasma membrane: Increased surface area increases the rate of diffusion, whereas a thicker membrane reduces it. Distance travelled: The greater the distance that a substance must travel, the slower the rate of diffusion.
