- C) The instantaneous velocity of a molecule tells you little about the time it takes a molecule to move cellular distances because the molecule's trajectory is constantly altered by collisions with other molecules in solution. The average time that it takes for a molecule to travel “x" cm by diffusion in three dimensions is given by t=x/6D, where t is time in seconds, and D is the diffusion coefficient, which is a constant that depends on the size and shape of a molecule. Glucose and myoglobin have diffusion coefficients of 5 X 10°cm?/sec and 5 X 10° cm?/sec, respectively. Calculate the average time that it would take for a molecule of glucose and a molecule of myoglobin to diffuse a distance of 25 um, an approximate width for a mammalian cell.arrow_forwardWhich of the following affects the permeability constant of a molecule in diffusion? the molecular weight of the diffusing molecule the characteristics of the membrane through which the molecule must diffuse the temperature of the system the size of the molecule all of the abovearrow_forwardClassify each example as requiring either diffusion or bulk flow as a mechanism for molecular transport.

- Which of the following statements about diffusion is correct? It is an active process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. It is very rapid over long distances. It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.arrow_forwardWhich of the following factors influences the rate at which diffusion takes place?
