Question

Discuss the concepts of diffusion and osmosis. Provide examples of how these two forces interact with the body’s cells

Answer 1

DIFFUSION: This is the process in which the particles of one solution moves into the another solution. Particles of higher concentration moves into the solution of particles with lower concentration.

OSMOSIS: osmosis is a process in which water moves through a semipermeable membrane from low concentration to higher concentration solution to attain a balanced concentration level

Interaction of diffusion with body cells: Diffusion plays a vital role in providing oxygen to the cells. Oxygen keeps cells alive and helps in transporting blood to whole body. Particles of oxygen moves into the cells through a diffusion process, so the concentration of oxygen present on the outside of the cell to the lowest concentration

interaction of osmosis with body cells: interaction of osmosis with red blood cells is when the red blood cells are kept in water, process of osmosis starts in the cell the water starts entering into the red blood cells and cells starts getting bulge and blast. In this the water is lower concentration and red blood cells have higher concentration of solution
