Question

explain the terms
imbibition
diffusion
osmosis
active transport
turgidity
flaccidity ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Imbibition:- Imbibition is a special type of diffusion that takes place when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an increase in volume

Diffusion:- Diffusion is the net movement of anything (for example, atoms, ions, molecules) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

Answer 2

Answer:

1)imbibition: It is a special kind of diffusion that takes place when watee is absorbed by solids-colloids causing increase in volume.

2)Diffusion: It is the movement of gaseous molecules from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

3)osmosis: It is the movement of water molecules from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane.

4)active transport: It is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from the region of lower concentration to higher concentration- against the concentration gradient.

5)turgidity: It is a state of being swollen or turgid, expecially due to high fluid conteny

6)flaccidity: it is a condition which occurs when a plant cell is placed in an isotonic solution.
