There are specific methods to be used when measuring the rate of diffusion over a membrane.

In order to accurately measure the rate of diffusion for water through this permeable membrane you need to account for:

  • The difference in pressure
  • The surface area of the membrane
  • The diffusion barrier

It would be correct to state that the speed at which any movement of water occurs is dependent on the pressure being exerted onto the water. This means that when attempting to calculate the rate of diffusion we need to account for the pressure difference. This pressure will be caused by the osmotic gradient.

You will also need to account for the surface area of the membrane and the diffusion barrier. The <u>surface area </u>of the membrane allows us to understand how much <u>space </u>the water has to be able to move from one side to the other. Meanwhile, the <u>diffusion barrier </u>tells us how much <u>resistance </u>the water will have to overcome when diffusing.

By taking all of these parameters into account, we can then use Fick's law to accurately calculate the rate of diffusion for the water and therefore the amount of water that is diffusing through the membrane.

Natural selection is based on all of the following except a. genetic variation exists within populations. b. the best-adapted in
goldfiish [28.3K]

Individuals adapt to their environments and, thereby, evolve

Explanation:

Natural selection is the main process which advances evolution by aiding organisms to survive and produce more offspring through adapting more to their environment. Mutations, gene transfer, and genetic variations also drive evolution.

Both natural selection and evolution work on genetic behaviors in populations rather than individuals. Both natural selection and evolution are involved in generating changes over generations.  Examples of evolution is the disappearing of tail bone, decreased head size and for natural selection example is the long and short necked giraffe.
