Can DIAC be replaced by two anti-parallel diodes?
i think not.diodes have a low breakdown voltage, around 1v. a diac has bv of about 30v.

What is the difference between a DIAC and a TRIAC?
A DIAC is simply a diode that breaks down at predictable voltage.A TRIAC is a 3 terminal device that will conduct whether the anode is at a positive or a negative potential, controlled by a gate.Another answerThey are AC versions of the SCR and diode respectively. Do you need more details?
Can you use Diac and Triac for dc supply?
The diac conducts in both directions at approximately the same voltage, making it unsuitable in an AC to DC supply. The triac also conducts in both directions, based on a gate voltage which is slightly different in the two usable quadrants. That is why the diac is often used to trigger the triac - it makes the two conduction cycles more symmetric. In both cases, the diac/triac does not make sense for an AC to DC supply, but it works well in an AC voltage regulator, such as a lamp dimmer or motor speed controller.

What is a gateless triac?
A gateless triac is a diac. It is often used in the gate circuit of a triac to balance out the firing voltage for the triac in both quadrants, so that there is no DC offset in the controlled load. This is because, while the gate trigger voltage is often asymmetric in the two quadrants, the M1/M2 breakdown voltage is often symmetric.
Application of diac?
The diac acts like an open-circuit until its switching or breakover voltage is exceeded. At that point the diac conducts until its current reduces toward zero (below the level of the holding current of the device). The diac, because of its peculiar construction, does not switch sharply into a low voltage condition at a low current level like the SCR or triac. Instead, once it goes into conduction, the diac maintains an almost continuous negative resistance characteristic, that is, voltage decreases with the increase in current. This means that, unlike the SCR and the triac, the diac cannot be expected to maintain a low (on) voltage drop until its current falls below a holding current level.
Why diac is used?
The diac is use to balance the turn on characteristics of a triac, so that each half line cycle is the same (reversed) as the prior cycle, and the no DC bias exists in the runnng circuit.The TRIAC turns on when M2 is more posistive than M1 and the gate is more positive than M1. The TRIAC also turns on when M2 is less positive than M1 and the gate is more negative than M1. Unfortunately the gate volatages are not symmetrical in the two quadrants, so the DIAC is used in series with the gate to provide a large, more stable, turn on based on symmetrical voltage trip point.
Why we don't use triac in case of ac controlled rectfier rather than scr?
A TRIAC does not have a symmetrical turn-on point in the opposite quadrant. This will introduce a DC bias, which you probably don't want. You can use an SCR, and then add diodes to allow it to operate in the opposite quadrant, or you can use two SCR's. Alternatively, you can use a DIAC in the TRIAC's gate circuit to balance the turn on point.
What is the function of moc 3041?
The MOC3041 is an opto-isolator, also known as opto-coupler, the function of opto-coupler is to provide electrical isolation between two different circuits, there are several types of opto-couplers, which have an LED and one another switching device, i.e. transistor, diac or triac, The MOC3041 contains one LED and one Triac with a zero crossing detector at its gate input, so it can be used to provide triggering pulses to the high power triac, used for controlling power to the AC Load. For more details, see the datasheet of MOC3041.
What is a DIAC?
Diac is a bidirectional electronic switch that can pass current in either directions according to the polarity applied on it.
