Asthma is a condition of the respiratory which is caused by the tightness of the muscles in the airways‚ which therefore causes the individual with this condition to breathe out reduced amount of air which then leads to difficulty in inhaling and exhaling. According to the World Health Organization (2010)‚ this condition is due to inflammation of the air passages in the lungs and affects the sensitivity of the nerve endings in the airways so they become easily irritated. In an attack‚ the lining

Review Sheet Exercise 1 Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) • Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are size and concentration gradient. The molecular size vs the MWCO size of the membrane can either increase‚ decrease‚ or prevent diffusion. The greater the concentration gradient the greater the diffusion rate due to molecules moving from areas of higher concentration
