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.

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection?
Leviafan [203]
Vestigial structures don't hurt the living being. Nature chooses against just unsafe attributes. Structures that have no obvious capacity and have all the earmarks of being lingering parts from a past progenitor are called minimal structures. Cases of minimal structures incorporate the human informative supplement, the pelvic bone of a snake, and the wings of flightless flying creatures.

Three risks that are associated with genetically engineered plants ​
sineoko [7]

Answer:

three risks that are associated with genetically engineered plants?

Three risks involved in genetically engineered plants include;

Resistance

Mutation

Explanation:

Over time plants resist genetically engineered process as a result of exposure to such measure over time which enable such plant to develop resistance over time and pass the traits to their offspring.
