Answer to Question #291294 in Biology for zac

Question

If the initial rate of diffusion is 12µg/s when the concentration difference is 1200 molecules/µm^3, what would the rate of diffusion be if the concentration difference was decreased to 1000 molecules/µm^3? Give your answer in µg/s

Answer 1

The greater the difference in concentration, the more rapid the diffusion.

Diffusion rate = 12 / 1200 x 1000 = 10 µg/s
