With respect to maximizing the rate of diffusion, and keeping in mind the equation describing diffusion rate (based on Fick’s first law of diffusion), rate = dS/dt = DA ΔC/Δx briefly describe three examples of adaptations/strategies that are evident in organisms (one each related to A, delta C, and delta x) that result in an increased rate of diffusion and explain why each would increase diffusion rate.
