Answer:
Option 2: In the opposite direction as the increase in concentration.
Explanation:
Flick's first law can be denoted as :
J (matter) = - D (dN/dz)
Here, J = diffusive mass flux of a species.
D = Diffusion coefficient (diffusivity)
N = Conc. of the diffusing species in number of moles per unit
z = distance
and (dN/dz) = distance of concentration gradient of diffused material in z direction.
Now the Negative sign in the equation indicates that the diffusive flux is in the opposite direction of the concentration gradient.

Question 5 According to Fick's First Law, absolute value of diffusion flux is is directly proportional to the concentration gradient is inversely proportional to the square of the concentration gradient inversely proportional to the concentration gradient is directly proportional to the square of the concentration gradient

#) Throughout the term we have used a modified version of Fick's Law of Diffusion to better understand the flux of water, solutes,gases, electrical charge, blood, air, and heat. Please write Fick's Law below. Choose two of the three variables on the right side of the equation and for each, provide a specific biological example in which that variable changes and explain how that change alters the net flux of whatever is fluxing. #) Throughout the term we have used...
Problem 6 - Protein Diffusion. Using Fick's second law of diffusion determine the time scale for the protein lysozyme (MW=141 kg/mol) to diffuse a root-mean-squared distance of 10 um in three-dimensional space. You may assume that its diffusion coefficient is 10-6 cm2/s at 1 atm and 273 K.
What is Fick's law and flux , total flux,molar flux and its related terms in mass transfer ?
Write down Fick's second law of diffusion. Using one dimensional profile sketches or otherwise, discuss the solutions to this equation for the two cases when the diffusing species has (i) a constant and (ii) a finite surface concentration during diffusion. Explain how the dependence of temperature of diffusion is captured in these equations.
a) A concentration of a carbon monoxide in a tank is described by f(X,y,z) X2 + y2 + Z2. Based on Fick's Law, the diffusion happens in the direction of maximum decrease of concentration Point P is at (1, -2, 3) in the respective tank. Find a vector field to describe diffusion field that happens in the tank. 1. Determine a unit vector in the direction of diffusion at P. ii. Determine unit vector(s) in the direction of zero change...
Diffusion Mechanisms - Nonsteady State Diffusion - Copy Learning Goal: To learn how the diffusion rate changes in dynamic conditions where the diffusion profile changes with time, and how in some cases it can be modeled easily In steady stadision, the concentration Cis a function only of position (not of time). When usion is nonsteady Cis a function of position and time, Oix Nonsteady state diffusion in one direction can be modeled using Fick's Second Law -D where is the...
Fick's Law of diffusion (p. 137 Silverthorm) governs the rate at which oxygen moves from the alveolar space to the blood where: Explain how each condition below affects gas exchange by indicating which factor affecting the rate of diffusion is influenced (surface area, concentration gradient, or membrane permeability.) In each case state whether the factor increases or decreases the rate of gas exchange. In addition to the properties of membranes above, you will also need to consider the factor of...
