Question

what are the characteristics of diffusion . in points and in easy language


​

Answer 1

Answer:

The material that diffuses could be a solid, liquid or gas. Similarly, the medium in which diffusion occurs could also be in one of the three physical states. One of the main characteristics of diffusion is the movement of molecules along the concentration gradient

Answer 2

Explanation:

Significance of Diffusion

Diffusion is an important process, which is involved in the different life processes. As mentioned above, it is the net movement of particles, ions, molecules, solution, etc. In all living species, diffusion plays an important role in the movement of the molecules during the metabolic process in the cells.

Diffusion is important for the following reasons:

During the process of respiration, this process helps in diffusing the carbon dioxide gas out through the cell membrane into the blood.

Diffusion also occurs in plant cells. In all green plants, water present in the soil diffuses into plants through their root hair cells.

The movement of ions across the neurons that generates electrical charge is due to diffusion.
