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.

Do Chemical reactions only occur in living organisms?

No, chemical reactions occur in both living and non-living systems. In living organisms, chemical reactions are essential for metabolic processes, while in non-living systems, chemical reactions can occur in various environments such as inorganic chemical reactions in the environment.

What is the difference of growth between stalactite and seaweed?

Seaweeds are living organisms, members of the Algae family. Stalactites (and Stalagmites) are formations of limestone which occur in caves, they are not living organisms.


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.

WHEn does diffusion occur?

Diffusion is quicker at high temperatures and pressures.


What are the limits to diffusion as a means of transport for living organisms?

Diffusion becomes ineffective for larger distances or larger organisms because it is a slow process that relies on random movement of particles. Additionally, diffusion is not efficient for transporting materials against a concentration gradient, such as from low to high concentration. In larger organisms, diffusion is often supplemented by other transport mechanisms like circulatory systems to overcome these limitations.
