Like mentioned previously, the flamingoâs color comes from its diet of bacteria, algae, plankton, shrimp and crustaceans. Their bill is specially designed for the type of food that they eat. For example, the Lesser Flamingo has a deep-keeled bill that is ideal for the intake of algae and diatoms.
The diffusion coefficient D is a function of both temperature and pressure. Diffusion increases with increasing temperature (as molecules move more rapidly), and decreases with increasing pressure (which packs more molecules in a given volume, making it harder for them to move).
The equation at the top of this page is Graham's Law of Diffusion, named after the Scottish chemist Thomas Graham (1805 - 1869). It states that the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (molecular weight). Stated in simpler terms, lighter gases (in terms of density or molecular weight) will diffuse faster than those gases with higher densities or molecular weight.
