Hello Ariana! Molecular weight and diffusion are inversely proportional; the greater the molecular weight, the slower the rate of diffusion. In fact, certain molecules can never pass through membranes, thus protecting the cell. I am not sure I understand your theory and second question.
Explore the role of temperature in the rate of diffusion of a substance. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion. Diffusion is always happening, even when a system appears to have reached equilibrium, because molecules are always moving. When molecules are heated, they move faster.
