Which medium will allow the fastest diffusion?

<p>Gas, due to very far apart particle arrangement (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Will diffusion be faster when the medium is hot or cool?

<p>Hot, because particles move faster at higher temperatures (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the movement involved in osmosis?

What happens to cells when the environment is dry with very little water?

<p>Water may move out of cells, causing cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall and potentially leading to cell death (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers
