Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Factors that affect the rate of diffusion are:
A
Difference in solute concentration between blood and dialysate
B
Solute characterisitcs
C
Flow rates of blood and dialysate
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rate of diffusion is affected by the concentration gradient, membrane permeability, temperature, and pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The rate of diffusion depends on the mass of matter. A large particle moves at the slowest pace resulting in a slower rate of diffusion. lighter particles will diffuse at a faster rate.
