Diffusion is a phenomenon explaining movement of substances from its higher concentration to its lower concentration. In plants, diffusion of gases occurs. Factors affecting diffusion are:
Factors on which the diffusion depends are:
  • TEMPERATURE: With the rise in temperature, the rate of diffusion increases. Because with the rise in temperature, the kinetic energy of diffusing particles also increases.
  • DIFFUSION PRESSURE GRADIEN: Greater the diffusion pressure gradient , more will be net diffusion of molecule.
  • DENSITY OF DIFFUSING SUBSTANCE: The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to square of the density of the diffusing substance.
  • MEDIUM: More the concentrated medium, slower will be rate of diffusion.

    A unicellular animal P having no fixed shape ingests a food particle by forming temporary finger-like projections Q. The food particle is engulfed with a little surrounding water to form a temporary stomach R inside it. The chemicals S from surrounding cytoplasm enter into R and break down food into small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The digested food is absorbed directly into cytoplasm by the process T. The undigested food is thrown out of the body by the rupture of a cell organelle U in a process called V.

    An organism X having breathing organs A lives on land. When organism X goes under water, it cannot survive for a long time unless carrying an oxygen cylinder. On the other hand, the organism Y having breathing organs B always lives in water and if taken out of water, it dies after a short while. A third organism Z having breathing organs C and D which lives on the banks of ponds, lakes and rivers can survive on land as well as in water equally well.
