The rate of diffusion can be measured using various methods, including:
Fick's Law: This law states that the diffusion rate is proportional to the surface area and concentration difference, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane. Diffusion Coefficient: This coefficient provides a numerical value representing how easily a molecule diffuses through a particular medium. Experimental Methods: Techniques such as fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and radioactive tracing can be used to measure diffusion rates experimentally.
