Questions and Answers

What factors affect the rate of diffusion?

  • Photosynthesis, acidity of solutions, kinetic energy
  • Tonicity, dialysis, molecule size
  • Silver nitrate test, equilibrium, chlorophyll absorption
  • Temperature, concentration gradient, molecular mass of particles (correct)
  • How does temperature impact the rate of diffusion?

  • Lower temperatures increase molecular motions
  • Lower temperatures increase the concentration gradient
  • Higher temperatures increase the diffusion rates (correct)
  • Higher temperatures decrease kinetic energy
  • What happens to diffusion rates as molecules get closer to equilibrium?

  • They remain constant
  • They slow down (correct)
  • They stop completely
  • They speed up
