Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion•Magnitude of the gradient gradient rate
•Permeability of the membrane permeability rate
•Temperature of the Solution temperature rate
•The surface area of the membrane through which diffusion is taking place SA rate

Cells use energy Cells use energy (ATP)(ATP) to move large molecules or to move large molecules or ions thru a cell membraneions thru a cell membraneUsually, these substances are moved Usually, these substances are moved ““uphilluphill”” or or against the concentration gradient. In other words, against the concentration gradient. In other words, the substances are moved in the opposite direction of the substances are moved in the opposite direction of diffusion diffusion (passive transport)(passive transport)The embedded proteins involved are often called The embedded proteins involved are often called PUMPSPUMPSExamples: Examples: pumps, exocytosis, endocytosis, pumps, exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosisphagocytosis, pinocytosis..
