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.

Who is most likely to give in to peer pressure and start substance abuse
posledela

Answer:

Explanation:

To say that someone is a peer implies that they are of equal standing. It can mean people who are of the same age, economic class, or grade within a profession. A peer group refers to a group of people of roughly the same age and status who spend time together. Peer pressure is the influence these people have on the life of the individual. It involves adapting behaviors that the individual would otherwise not adapt. If members of the group value a particular behavior there will be a kind of pressure to conform to this. So if friends drink alcohol, or use drugs, it can be hard to say no. Peer pressure can be a force for good or bad.
