State how changing the five factors of Fick's Law of diffusion can increase net filtration
What will be an ideal response?
(1) The greater the difference in concentration, the faster the rate of net diffusion.
(2) The more permeable the membrane is to a substance, the more rapidly the substance can diffuse down its concentration gradient.
(3) The larger the available surface area of the membrane, the greater rate of diffusion it can accommodate.
(4) Lighter molecules diffuse more rapidly.
(5) The shorter the distance through which diffusion must take place, the faster the rate of diffusion.
