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

Biology

Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago

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.

Eukaryotic: mitosis: prokaryote: binary fission

Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis while prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission.

Eukaryotes include fungi, plants, and animals and are complex in structure. They have a nucleus, several organelles and more DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis; a form of cell division that usually produces two similar daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Prokaryotes include bacteria, and archaea, and are quite simple in structure. They do not have organelles or nucleus, but they have only a small amount of DNA. Prokaryotes undergo binary fission; a type of asexual reproduction in which there is replication and segregation of a single DNA molecule.

The sense of the location of body parts in relation to the ground and each other is called?
Harman [31]

The sense of the location of body parts in relation to the ground and each other is called Kinesthetic sense. Bastian (1888) developed the word "kinaesthesia," which refers to the capacity to perceive the position and movement of our limbs and trunk.

It's a fascinating sense since, unlike our other senses like vision and hearing, we're mostly unconscious of it in our daily lives. Kinesthesia is the knowledge of the position and movement of bodily parts through the use of sensory organs known as proprioceptors, which are found in joints and muscles. Kinesthetic sense is concerned with how we can determine the location of our limbs.

The durability of scientific knowledge depends on frequent investigation. In your own words, explain why scientific knowledge sh
-Dominant- [34]

Science must be open and aim for the common good. Scientific advancement is done to provide well-being to the population and to facilitate the way in which this population lives, moves, communicates and reinvents itself. As the population is constantly changing, it is necessary that scientific thinking be open to these changes as well.

Social changes, climate change, behavioral and food changes shape current scientific thinking. The advancement of technology is possible, thanks to the human being's ability to change. We can use several examples that prove the need for scientific thinking to be open to change. Among these examples are the changes in the media, the change in scientific thinking about how the human being should communicate has promoted a breakthrough in the technology that has resulted in smartphones, applications and computers that have so much changed the way we communicate.

Another example is the methods of treating diseases, each time disease becomes stronger, more difficult to treat and more common, scientific thinking has to change to formulate treatments more effective and less devastating.
