Describe why diffusion is an important process to your body?

Answer 1

Diffusion is important in the body as it the way oxygen travels from sir in our lung to red blood cells in our blood.

It is also the process by which carbon dioxide travel from our blood to our lungs from where it can then be exhaled.

The cells also take up some of their nutrients from the blood by diffusion and diffusion is also responsible for our nerves to function as the neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft so that the next nerve cell can pick up the signal and pass it along.

It is the basic way in which all nutrients, gases and wastes move in the body unless active transport is required which uses protein carriers instead in place where either diffusion is not possible because of the nature of substance or because it has to be transported to an area with an already high concentration of it.

Answer 2

One way it's important is that we need the diffusion of oxygen through the alveolar membrane to breathe. What is an example of diffusion and osmosis in the ...

Answer 3

It is important because we need oxygen for us to live thus without diffusion, the gas exchange process won't occur and we can't get the oxygen we need.

Answer 4

it allows an even distribution of substances throughout all cells of the body
