In general what is the effect of the type of medium on diffusion rate

Biology

Answer;

Diffusion rate is greater in fluid media than solid.

Explanation;

-Diffusion may depends upon the medium in which it takes place. Physically, the particles within the medium act as a barrier to diffusion. Collisions between diffusing particles and the molecules of the medium lead to a reduction in the rate of diffusion. This means that the greater the number of molecules or larger particles within the medium, the lower the rate of diffusion.

-Other factors affecting diffusion rate include; concentration gradient, temperature, and density of the diffusing substance.

Answer

          The rate of diffusion is strongly affected by the type of medium.

Viscosity of medium

         if the medium is more viscous then the rate of diffusion will slow.  However if the medium is less viscous then the rate of diffusion will be faster.

Chemical nature of medium

          If the nature of medium is same as that of molecules entering or leaving the medium. then the rate of diffusion will be faster. on the other hand if the nature of medium and molecules leaving or entering the medium is different the n rate of diffusion will be affected.

State of medium

           State of medium have also effect on rte of diffusion. like gas molecules can easily diffuse across gas medium as compared to liquid or solid medium.

What do white blood cells have that red blood cells do not?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Leukocytes are also called white blood cells. These cells have a nucleus, unlike red blood cells that lack a nucleus. Also unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not contain hemoglobin, which means they're not involved in the transport of oxygen.

Thorns and small hairs on plant stems and leaves help to
Mkey [24]

The correct answer is - physically dettering herbivory, protection from frost, and minimizing evaporation.

The plants have developed multiple traits that help them in multiple different circumstances, and some of those traits are the thorns and the hairs on their steams and leaves.

The thorns primarily serve for protection of the plant. They are very sharp and give a painful sting (occasionally poisonous one), so they are a physical protection from the herbivores that would try to eat parts of the plants.

The hairs have multiple functions. They are like a coat that helps the plant to not be affected by frost, help to stop the evaporation, and also partially manage to stop most of the insects that feed on plants.
