Answer:

Concentration, Temperature, Mass of Particle, Solvent /medium, surface area and permeability properties of membrane.

Explanation:

The random movement of particles causes the phenomenon called diffusion. The concentration gradients of particles pushes molecules in a direction such that molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion is a passive process (not requiring the input of energy).

The following variables are factors that affects diffusion;

Concentration - down concentration gradient favours diffusion.

Temperature - temperature increases diffusion , the kinetic energy associated with each particle also increases. 

Mass/size of Particle - Smaller particles on the other hand will diffuse faster because they can move faster.

Solvent /medium Properties - Viscosity and density of the medium greatly affect diffusion. Highly viscous and dense medium slows down diffusion.

Diffusion can occur through a membrane. The two factors that are particular to diffusion through a membrane are surface area and permeability.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine

Explanation:

Phenylketonuria is an inherited disease that results from the lack of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenylalanine go tyrosine. A build up of phenylalanine could result to mental instability , intellectual problems and seizures. This is because of the body’s inability to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine.

Tyrosine is an important amino acid which helps in the production of neurotransmitters which ensures proper functioning of the brain cells.
