Q.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding diffusion?

1. Diffusion takes place only in gases.

2. Movement of substances takes place from high concentration to low concentration.

3. Diffusion takes place only in liquids

4. Movement of substances takes place from low concentration to high concentration.

Q.

How does the process of diffusion take place across the cell membrane?

Q.

The movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called __.

Q.

Substances like carbon dioxide and oxygen move across the cell membrane by the process of:

1. Photosynthesis

2. Diffusion

3. Transpiration

4. Respiration

Q. How will the following conditions affect transpiration?​ ​
(i) Still air

Q. Materials like oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave cells by diffusion.

1. Passive transport
2. Osmosis
3. Diffusion
4. Active transport

Q. Diffusion occurs in
(a) Solids
(b) Liquids
(c) Gases

1. a, b
2. b, c

4. All

Q.

The phenomenon by which the living or dead plant cells absorb water by surface attraction is ___ .

1. Diffusion

2. osmosis

3. Imbibition

4. Plasmolysis

Q.

The diffusion of ${CO}_2$ across the alveolar membrane is 20 times faster than that of $O_2$ because

1. CO₂ is actively transferred.

2. The alveolar area available for CO₂ diffusion is larger.

3. CO₂ is more soluble in H₂O than O₂, which enables it to pass the membrance more readily.

4. The CO₂ pressure gradient in larger.

Q.

Why is molecular movements necessary for life

Q.

Multicellular organisms cannot meet oxygen requirement only by diffusion . give reason.

Q.

1. External respiration

2. Internal respiration

3. Cellular respiration

4. Counter-current exchange

Q.

A. The movement of minerals from the soil into root hair cells.
B. The movement of water into the cells of living things.
C. The movement of dissolved oxygen from the surrounding water into an amoeba.
D. The movement of carbon dioxide from the air into leaf cells.

1. Only C and D

2. Only A and B

3. Only A and C

4. Only B and C

Q. What is diffusion? Explain about diffusion in solid , liquid and gas with the help of suitable diagram.
