Answer:

hey mate

Step-by-step explanation:

diffusion can be defined as movement of molecules from region of high concentration to region of low concentration

for example tea bag immersed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water and change its colour.

A spray of perfume or room freshener will get diffused into the air by which we can sense the odour.

Sugar gets dissolved evenly and sweetens the water without having to stir it.

Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place. Diffusion is an important process for living things; it is how substances move in and out of cells.

three types of diffusion instead of two: simple, channel, and facilitated.

Diffusion is the process of movement of molecules under a concentration gradient. It is an important process occurring in all living beings. Diffusion helps in the movement of substances in and out of the cells. The molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until the concentration becomes equal throughout.

Liquid and gases undergo diffusion as the molecules are able to move randomly.

Types of Diffusion

Diffusion is widely used in various fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, etc. Diffusion can be classified into two main types: Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion.

Examples of Diffusion

  • A tea bag immersed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water and change its colour.

  • A spray of perfume or room freshener will get diffused into the air by which we can sense the odour.

  • Sugar gets dissolved evenly and sweetens the water without having to stir it.

  • As we light the incense stick, its smoke gets diffused into the air and spreads throughout the room.

  • By adding boiling water into the dried noodles, the water diffuses causing rehydration and making dried noodles plumper and saturated.
