Answer:

membrane surface area and the concentration gradient

Step-by-step explanation:

the larger the surface area of the membrane that a substance is diffusing through , the faster the rate of diffusion . Likewise , the bigger the difference in the concentration between 2 areas , the greater the concentration gradient and the faster the rate of diffusion.
