The rate of diffusion is influenced by
A)the concentration gradient.
B)membrane permeability.
C)membrane surface area.
D)All apply.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices - concentration gradient, membrane permeability, and membrane surface area - have significant impacts on the rate of diffusion. A steeper concentration gradient will cause substances to diffuse more rapidly, while a less permeable or smaller membrane surface area can restrict the passage of molecules through the membrane.
