Why is Area under Desorption Curve (TPD) the total particles desorbed?


I'm currently reading about Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) and is wondering why in the graph of desorption rate (molecules/cm2/sec) against temperature (deg C), the area under the curve is the total number of particles desorbed? Isnt the units (molecules/cm/sec/degC) if u integrate the curve?
