Biology for IGCSE & O level - Movement Into And Out Of Cells (Section 1 - No. 36)

Which of the following processes can be affected by a change in temperature?
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active transport
Endocytosis

Explanation

Diffusion increases with higher temperature. Active transport is enzyme-mediated so is affected by temperature. Osmosis will be indirectly affected due to the effect on diffusion. Endocytosis is also indirectly affected because of the effect on membrane fluidity.
