What is the primary determining factor that will or will not allow solute diffusion?


What are two secondary factors that affect solute diffusion?

Verified Answer :

Okay the primary determining factor would be the concentration.

 Well, Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion Size Small molecules can slip by the polar heads of the phospholipids and through the membrane to the other side.

Answer:

  • Size
  • Concentration

  • Solvent density
  • Temperature

Diffusion can be defined as the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

The primary determining factor that will or will not allow solute diffusion includes the size. The simple explanation for this is the higher the size of the solute, the harder the diffusion of the solute is as there will be difficult for their movement.

The concentration is also important as a result of diffusion not taking place if the solute particles and the surrounding environment have an equal concentration.

The two secondary factors that affect solute diffusion include solvent density and temperature.

The higher the solvent density the lower the rate of diffusion while the higher the temperature, the lower the rate of diffusion.
