2.15b temperature and diffusion

  1. Temperature=the average kinetic energy of the molecules going in and out of the cell
  2. If we increase the temperature we also increase the average kinetic energy particles therefore they will be moving more making the chances greater, of the molecules to pass through the cell membrane.
  3. This overall increases the number of molecules going into the cell.

  1. nice description of diffusion. So if you increase conc or temp we can see how this affects the over all KE of the particles. Well done
