What are some factors that can affect the rate of diffusion

1 answer:

4 0

Diffusion is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

The rate (speed) of diffusion depends on:

1) concentration gradient (the more molecules there are, the faster the distribution ; the more crowded the molecules are, they distribute more rapidly).

2) size of the molecules (smaller substances diffuse faster)

3) chemical composition (molecules that can easily dissolve in the bilipid cell membrane can diffuse faster).

How can protists exhibit both animal-like and plant-like characteristics?

Kay [80]

A heterotrophic and chlorophyll protist

Food is ingested by protists in three forms. We produce, eat and digest their own organic molecules. Meat ingestion or english bacteria ingests protists. The cell wall and cell membrane are stretched to create an alimentary vacuolum around the foodstuff. Enzymes extract the food inside the food vacuole. At the other side, absorbent protists consume food molecules through their cell membrane by diffusion. In decomposition, absorbent protists play a crucial role. They are assumed to be essential decomponents. Light energy is used to make your own food by big farmers including photosynthetic protists.

aleksklad [387]

During the past 100 years, the major causes of death have shifted from INFECTIOUS DISEASES to CHRONIC DISEASES.
About a century ago, most diseases were usually acquired by people as a result of infection, that is, the causative organisms are usually passed from one person to another. But since the advent of microbiology in medicine, the trend has change, because the microbes can now be countered using different antibiotic means.

Describe two ways to protect the biodiversity of local forest ecosystems.

Evgen [1.6K]

One way to protect the biodiversity of local forest ecosystems would be to prevent the logging or destruction of the fire by humans or also by natural disaster such as forest fires. Another way for forest ecosystems to be protected could be working to reduce pollution in nearby areas and also preventing the contamination of the water sources nearby.
