Answer:

Diffusion rate increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of diffusion would increase as a steep concentration gradient is maintained so more nutrients/ glucose diffuses quickly. This is also how the small intestines are adapted to have efficient diffusion rates as there are many capillary networks that allow lots of blood flow, increasing diffusion rates.
