Answer:

According to Fick's law, the rate of diffusion of any substance across any barrier is<u> directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane or any layer exposed. and the concentration of the diffusing substance available, but the rate is inversely proportional to the diffusion distance available.</u>

<u />

Thus the rate at which oxygen will move across the phospholipid  bilayer will depend on the concentration or amount  per mole  of the oxygen molecule hitting the phopholipid at  a prticular time and how permeable the phospholipd layer is to oxygen molecules, but the rate of its  movement across will be reduced as the distance between the phosphoslipid bilayer and the diffusing molecules  increases.

Therefore, the concentration of oxygen should be maximised, the surface area of the phospholipid  bilayer should also be maximized. the distances between the phopholipid and the  vessel containing the diffusing oxygen molecules should be drastically reduced. With this Fick's law  has been applied , and therefore maximum oxygen molecules can diffuse across.

What does candide admire about the baron's castle? why is candide envious as a result?
Novay_Z [31]
Candide is in amazement of the Baron's elaborate and lovely stronghold. At the point when the Baron shows Candide out kissing the Baron's little girl, he turns out to be much more desirous of Baron's château. Candide is the ill-conceived nephew of a German nobleman. He experiences childhood in the aristocrat's château under the tutelage of the researcher Pangloss, who shows him that this world is "the most ideal of all universes." Candide goes gaga for the noble's young girl, Cunégonde. The nobleman gets the two kissing and ousts Candide from his home.

How do rates of mutation "power" molecular clocks?
Keith_Richards [23]

<span>Molecular clocks use rates of mutation to measure evolutionary time. Mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. The more mutations that happened in each lineage, the greater is the differences between these lineages.</span>
