Diffusion is faster over shorter distances due to fewer collisions impeding movement; cells are therefore small to ensure rapid diffusion.
Diffusion is faster over shorter distances due to fewer collisions impeding movement; cells are therefore small to ensure rapid diffusion.
| Front | Diffusion over short/long distances |
|---|---|
| Back | - high speeds mean more collisions which slows net movement - diffusion therefore faster over shorter distances, also cells small to achieve fast rate |
