Disappointing article edit
Most readers are likely to be interested in what these two laws mean in plain language. Instead they are confronted with mathematical purity, derivations of the laws, and alternative formulations. Readers want words, simple sentences with excellent English.
The derivations and alternative equations can be buried deep at the bottom of the article, that stuff is for specialists. As it stands, the article iss really disappointing. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:05, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Which of the laws is best suited for the following link? edit
In the section [n]utrient and waste transfer of the page [r]otating locomotion in living systems, there's this sentence (links included):
In the absence of blood vessels, oxygen, nutrients, and waste products would need to diffuse across the interface, a process that would be greatly limited by the available partial pressure and surface area, in accordance with Fick's law of diffusion.
Could anyone please tell me which of Fick's laws of diffusion this applies to, or if it applies more or less equally to all of them? Thylacine24 (talk) 21:33, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
