Question

Energy required for the movement of a smaller molecule is less when compared to a larger molecule.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Cell system has an optimum temperature maintained for its metabolic activity. This temperature can facilitate optimal kinetic energy for movement of molecules. Thus in a minimal heat energy, smaller molecules can diffuse faster than larger molecules as they require more energy and rate of diffusion becomes slow.
