xoxokat Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I am so lost and I'm hoping for a bit of help....How does volume/surface area affect the rate of diffusion?Has anyone done that lab with the agar cubes where you put them in NaOH and calculate the rate of diffusion? What type of graphs should I make? What should I be comparing?Any helpful tip/hints that would help me?Thanks!!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineeLikeMe Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 we have. although i cant give you a direct answer. think about the nutrients that the cell needs to absorb. what if the cell got too big. what happens to the distance from the nucleus. keep in mind that nutrients must go from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. hope i helped.
