Explain the differences between osmosis diffusion active transport and bulk transport and give examples of materials exchanged by different methods with a justification in each case?
In diffusion, molecules travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. When you put a drop of ink in a glass of water, the spreading of the ink in the water is called diffusion. Similarly, if you spray an air freshener in one corner of a room, eventually people on the other side of the room will be able to smell it as well because the scent has diffused. In osmosis, molecules also travel from higher concentration to a lower concentration. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of WATER molecules. Both of these types of transport are examples of passive transport, which requires no energy

Why can't you smell things when you have a cold?
The swelling in your nose or mucus in your nose keeps the air which carries odors from reaching the nerves that detects and registers "smells" to your brain.This also affects taste. 80% of taste is from the nerves (olfactory bulb) high in the nose; while 20% is from the mouth - sweet, sour, etc. This involves what is called "retro" that is - odor molecules travel through your mouth through the back of your throat and up into the nasal area and up to the olfactory bulb. If your nasal passages high in the nasal area are swollen shut you will not smell nor taste. When the infection or cold starts to subside you find that your sense of smell is now too strong due to the nerves becoming irritated. This will also subside. The nerve ending that smell and taste are renewed about every 40 days.

Persian cats eat, generally, pretty much what any cat eats. They are less sensitive to smell, excessive inbreeding to flatten their faces and shorten their noses has left the breed with smaller nasal passages and very limited ability to smell, and thus to taste, so they may be much pickier eaters than most cats, unable to be enticed by the scent of cat food.
What does sodium hydroxide taste like?
Sodium is a metal, and it does not have any particular scent. Think of gold and silver and iron. None of them has any particular scent. It should be noted that sodium is highly reactive. And sodium metal that went up the nose of an investigator would react with the water there to create sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, and it would chemically burn the membranes of the nasal passages. This would definitely be noticeable but not as a "smell" that we could distinguish.
