The rate of diffusion, as outlined by 's Law of Diffusion, is determined by
1. of the Solute: big molecules move slower than small molecules. Small molecules have less collisions and travel further and quicker
2. : the greater the distance traveled, the slower the rate of diffusion. More distance = more collisions = slower diffusion
3. : a shallow concentration gradient = slower diffusion
4. Plasma membrane : substances can only move across if the plasma membrane is permeable to them
5. : The bigger the cell, the larger the surface area, the more opportunity for substances to move across, the higher the rate of diffusion
