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.

    There are five animals P, Q, R, S and T. The animal P always lives in water and has gills for breathing. The animal Q can stay in water as well as on land and can breathe both, through moist skin and lungs. The animal R lives in soil and breathes only through its skin. The animal S lives on land and breathes through spiracles and tracheae. And animal T lives in water and breathes through its cell membrane.

    The liquid connective tissue A circulates in our body continuously without stopping. This tissue contains a pigment B which imparts it a colour C. The tissue A consists of four components D, E, F and G. The component D fights infection and protects us from diseases. The component E helps in the clotting of tissue A if a person gets a cut. The component F is a liquid which consists mainly of water with many substances dissolved in it and component G carries oxygen from the lungs to all the parts of the body.

    2. Name (i) D, (ii) E, (iii) F and (iv) G.

    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.
    1. What could organism X be? Name the breathing organs A.
    2. What could organism Y be? Name the breathing organs B.
    3. What could organism Z be? Name the breathing organs C and D.
