A spherical cell acts as a perfect absorber for a particular nutrient. As soon as this nutrient diffuses to the cellular membrane, it is bound and transportec inside, dropping the nutrient concentration at the surface of the cell to zero. When 45-um-diameter cells are placed in a bath of fixed concentration such that they absorb 600 nutrient particles per second, how many particles per second would the cells absorb if they grew to be 2 times larger in diameter? ANSWER = molecules/s

Some farts stink. This is mostly due to the presence of small quantities of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans. The diffusion coefficient of H2S gas in air is 0.2x10 -m²/s. Imagine that you fart 1 meter away from a classmate. How long might you expect it would take for your classmate to smell this unwelcome olfactory intrusion if diffusion were to be the main means of gas dispersal? t= S Does your experience with intestinal gas jibe with this value? What are a couple of good reasons why not? [Lesson: if you fart in a crowd, your best bet is to stay veeeerrrrrryyyyy still!]
