DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following doesn’t influence the rate of diffusion?
A
Distance
B
Concentration gradient
C
Type of cell involved
D
Temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: The electrical charges of the diffusion particles are the only factor that does not have an effect on the rate at which diffusion occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rate of diffusion in cells is affected by factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, size of the molecule, and the presence of a membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of diffusion is affected by the concentration gradient, membrane permeability, temperature, and pressure. Diffusion takes place as long as there is a difference between the concentrations of a substance across a barrier.

Detailed explanation-4: -Several factors affect the rate of diffusion of a solute including the mass of the solute, the temperature of the environment, the solvent density, and the distance traveled.
