Q

Rate pf diffusiom

A

Dissolved substances have to pass through the cell membrane to get into or out of a cell. Diffusion is one of the processes that allows this to happen. Diffusion occurs when particles spread. … Particles diffuse down a concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concen
