Diffusion in Agar Cubes
In terms of maximizing diffusion, what was the most effective size cube that you tested? The smallest cube (1cm) was the most effective in diffusion, as the whole cube turned pink. Why was that size most effective at maximizing diffusion? What are the important factors that affect how materials diffuse into cells or tissues? Size was important because of the surface area of the cube determines how much NaOH is needed to diffuse in the cube. The smaller cube had less surface area which allowed…
