    Factors That Affect Diffusion: General Biology

    Uploaded by

    Kristopher Ong
    The document discusses factors that affect the rate of diffusion, including the extent of the concentration gradient between areas, the mass of diffusing molecules, temperature, and solvent density. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration in order to achieve dynamic equilibrium, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Examples where diffusion is important include within the cytoplasm of living cells and between neurons in the nervous system.

    FACTORS THAT AFFECT

    DIFFUSION
    General Biology
    DIFFUSION
    Diffusion is random
    movement of
    molecules but has a
    net direction toward
    regions of lower
    concentration in
    order to reach an
    equillibrium.
    MOLECULE
    Is the smallest particle
    in a chemical element
    or compound that has
    the chemical
    properties of that
    element or compound.
    DYNAMIC
    EQUILLIBRIUM
    Is a chemical
    equillibrium between a
    forward reaction and
    the reverse reaction
    where the rate of the
    reactions are equal.
    FACTORS THAT AFFECT
    THE RATE OF DIFFUSION
    Extent of the concentration of gradient

    Mass of the molecules diffusing

    Temperature

    Solvent density
    Cytoplasm
    Material within
    a living cell,
    excluding the
    nucleus.
    Neurons
    Cells in our nervous
    system that
    transmit other
    information to
    other nerve cells,
    muscle or gland.
