How can osmosis and diffusion help in food preparation and preservation?

∙ 8y ago
Organs to be transplanted lack oxygen, nutrients and other essential materials, since they have been idle for a long time.
Osmosis and diffusion help these organs filled with these essential materials, such as water, nutrients and materials, as if they were attached in the human body.
BTW, osmosis is the flow of water from less concentration of solutes to high. Diffusion is the scattering of particles from higher cont to lower.

∙ 12y agoosmosis of water and diffusion of minerals and other substances from the extracellular space lowers the activity of the cells, which causes the cells to tolerate the conditions of low oxygen concentration when the organ is removed, thus the organ won't be injured from oxygen deprivation!
Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, or Custodiol HTK solution is a high-flow, low-potassium preservation solution used for organ transplantation. This solution functions by withdrawal of extracellular sodium and calcium, together with intensive buffering of the extracellular space by means of histidine/histidine hydrochloride, thus causing the effect mentioned above.

Diffusion is a very important process. Exchange of gasses in the cells take place by this process.
Once oxygen reaches the cells they diffuse into them as there is a lower concentration of oxygen inside the cell. Once CO2 concentration becomes high inside the cell as compared to it's surrounding medium it diffuses to the blood, which then is filtered in our body and thrown out.
This is why DIFFUSION and OSMOSIS important to the organism.

What causes cells to lose water?
the way cells get water is from a living animals body from when it drinks or eats food or from a human body.
How does diffusion take place in digestive systems?
In mammals diffusion occurs at 2 places in the respiratory system. The first place it occurs is in the lungs. The carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the lungs and the oxygen in the lungs diffuses into the blood. The second place where diffusion occurs is at the cell. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell and into the blood whereas oxygen diffuses into the cell from the blood. Glucose is also diffused from the capillary to the respiratory cells, since they need energy to function properly. Remember that diffusion works in a certain way: Molecules in a highly concentrated area will naturally diffuse into an area with lower concentrations of that particular substance, until eventually all of the molecules of that substance are evenly spread out within that area.

What is The importance of diffusion and osmosis?
DIFFUSION :- Diffusion is a major process involve in the transfer of molecules across the cell membrane, these molecules may be solid food stuff, waste products, drugs, hormones, enzymes etc.OSMOSIS:- Osmosis is useful in the transport of water, dissolve salts and mineral ions. It is also helpful in maintaining water level in plasma.Moreover these processes are involved in absorption of food materials and water from intestine.
What are the concepts of food preservation?
food preservation is a preserved food
What are the significance of osmosis to food preservation methods such as salting and drying?
Salting, sugar-curing, &c. apply osmosis in that both of these compounds are hygroscopic and thus draw water out of the food to be preserved over the semi-permeable surface of the food, from one solution into another, thus making the environment inhospitable for most bacteria and mold. Simple air drying works in the same way, but osmosis is not a factor; evaporation is.
Is halite a food product?
Halite is a mineral and is most often referred to as rock salt. Rock salt is used in the preservation and preparation of certain foods.
Why can cells not survive if they are totally isolated from their environment?
Because they aren't getting the nutrients they need through diffusion and osmosis. By isolation, you are cutting them off from there food supply and they will die.
What is the description of food preservation?
Food preservation is a way to keep food edible and healthy.
What are the importance of studying food science?
To have proper knowledge about nutrition,food elements. It helps to know about daily requirement of nutrients. To have knowledge about balance diet, food absorption etc. food preparation n preservation can also learn form it.
