Question

Can you calculate how many years would it take for the movement of molecules over a distance of 1m within a plant by diffusion alone

Answer 1

Answer:

2 years

Explanation:

It will take approximately 2 years for the movement of molecules over a distance of 1m within a plant by diffusion alone. Around 2.5s are taken for the movement of a molecule by diffusion alone to travel 50µm. Thus, to travel 1m, 0.5 × 106 seconds is taken.

Answer 2

• Diffusion alone will take approximately 2 years to transfer molecules over a distance of 1m within a plant. It takes about 2.5 seconds for a molecule to cross 50 metres via diffusion alone. Thus, it takes 0.5 106 seconds to move 1 metre.
