Biology for IGCSE & O level - Movement Into And Out Of Cells (Section 5 - No. 49)

In which scenario would diffusion likely occur most rapidly?
At a low temperature with a small concentration gradient.
At a low temperature with a large concentration gradient.
At a high temperature with a small concentration gradient.
At a high temperature with a large concentration gradient.

Explanation

Diffusion occurs most rapidly at high temperatures (increased molecular kinetic energy) and a large concentration gradient (more movement).
