Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we look at how the rate of diffusion which is how quickly particles spread out, is influenced by three factors: concentration gradient, temperature, and the surface area of the membrane. A larger concentration gradient and higher temperature both lead to a faster rate of diffusion, while a greater surface area to volume ratio also results in a higher rate of diffusion.
