Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

➡️ Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

➡️ Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration.

➡️Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. The reverse process, deplasmolysis or cytolysis, can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution.

➡️ Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an enormous increase in volume.

Answer 2

Answer:

Diffusion➡️It is the movement of liquid from higher concentration area to lower concentration area

Osmosis ➡️It is the movement of solvent molecules through selectively permeable membrane into region of higher solute concentration

Plasmolysis➡️It is the process in which the protoplasm of plant cell get contracted which lead to loss of water from cell

Imbibition➡️It is the property of some biological substances of uptaking of water that results in the swelling of substances
