Answer: States of matter; increases
Several factors influence the rate of diffusion and among these factors are temperature, STATES OF MATTER, electrical currents, and molecular size. For example, as temperature INCREASES, the rate of diffusion increases.
Explanation:
Factors influencing the rate of diffusion include:
- Temperature: High temperature increases the speed at which molecules move. Thus, as temperature increases, the rate of diffusion increases
- States of matter: Diffusion varies within the three states of matter. The diffusion of gases is much faster than that of liquids and solids, because the gas molecules are freer and therefore faster than the rest.
- Molecular size: The smaller the molecules, the faster the rate of diffusion while the larger the molecules, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Other factors include electrical currents.
ATP is short for adenosine triphosphate, which means that there is an adenosine molecule (A) (don't worry too much about that for the moment) with three phosphates (P) joined onto it. ATP could be written at APPP. ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate, which means the A has 2 phosphates joined to it, and might look like APP.
Therefore,
APPP -> APP + P
ATP can become ADP plus a free P (because one broke off)
