The process of diffusion is extremely important for the uptake of substances into cells. These substances can be very important for a whole range of cellular processes. Its also useful in reomoving waste products produced by cells themselves. Diffusion is particularly during gas exchange. In respiring cells, oxygen must be taken up into cells to be used in respiration whilst carbon dioxide must be removed as a waste product. However, in photosynthesising plant cells, the opposite also occurs also as carbon dioxide must be taken up into the cell and oxygen should be expelled as a product.Other important substances to be absorbed are nutrients such as amino acids glucose and most importantly, water
Diffusion process is very important and necessary in plants by the following ways -
i) In plants, the exchanging of gases is very much necessary. So, in this work, diffusion is very important for the plants.
ii) Also, diffusion helps the plants in removing the toxic as well as waste substances.
iii) By diffusion, nutrient substances such as glucose and amino acids are absorbed by the plants or trees.
iv) Through diffusion, beneficial minerals and iron are also taken up by the cells of hairs of roots from the ground or soil.
