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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

osmosis 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.

Answer 3

Osmosis is important for cells to gain water in our body. Once they gain water they can carry out their cell processes, such as cleaning and removing the waste from the cell.

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.

Answer 4

Osmosis and diffusion are important in food preparation and preservation by allowing for flavor infusion (osmosis) and equal distribution of ingredients (diffusion) in food items. Osmosis can be used to marinate meats and fruits to enhance taste, while diffusion helps in the even cooking and preservation of food by allowing for the movement of flavors, nutrients, and preservatives throughout the food.

Answer 5

it is important because it goes from a high concentration to a lower concentration that can help providing to management
