QUESTION:

The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse a distance of x cm is given by t 5 x2 2D where t is the time in seconds and D is the diffusion coefficient. Given that the diffusion coefficient of glucose is 5.7 3 1027 cm2 /s, calculate the time it would take for a glucose molecule to diffuse 10 m, which is roughly the size of a cell.
