When breathing oxygen into the lungs, animals are using diffusion to distribute that oxygen to all cells in the organism. Carbon dioxide in turn is diffused from the bodies cells into the lungs to be breathed out.

Plants also use diffusion to obtain carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Diffusion is used in photosynthesis and also when absorbing water and minerals from the soil and into the roots.

Where diffusion occur in living organisms?

Diffusion is one of the processes of transferring materials within the cells of living organisms. An example of diffusion is the exchange of gases in the lungs.

Can you have 5 living organisms that depend on diffusion?

Yes, living organisms that depend on diffusion for processes like respiration or nutrient exchange include single-celled organisms like protozoa, small invertebrates like flatworms and roundworms, aquatic organisms like sponges, and even some small insects. Diffusion allows them to exchange gases, nutrients, and waste products with their environment, essential for their survival.

How are living organisms adapted to increase posibility of diffusion?

Living organisms have developed various adaptations to increase the possibility of diffusion, such as having a large surface area-to-volume ratio for efficient exchange of substances, thin and permeable cell membranes to allow for rapid diffusion, and specialized transport systems like blood vessels or tracheal systems to help distribute substances throughout the body. Additionally, some organisms have evolved structures like gills, roots, or leaves that are optimized for gas and nutrient exchange through diffusion.
