Diffusion is a rapid process and is therefore limited to shorter distances. Transport is includes the change of wastes, nutrients and gases.

Is diffusion passive or active transport?
Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.
In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?
Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.
How is diffusion important in our living systems?
diffusion is important to living system in a way that in can help in reproduction of living system
Are humans parasitic or free-living organisms?
free-living! We don't live on or in other organisms.
What is is similar among all living organisms on Earth?
All living organisms on Earth use DNA as their genetic material.All living organisms use cellular metabolism to obtain and use energy.All living organisms have some form of response to external stimuli.All living organisms undergo reproduction.All living organisms are made up of one or more cells, the basic unit of life.

Where diffusion occur in living organisms?
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?
All living organisms depend on diffusion.Organisms that rely on diffusion alone are almost always single celled organisms.
Is diffusion passive or active transport?
Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.
What is the importance of Active Transport in living organisms?
~ kidney and homeostasis..........
How are living organisms adapted to increase posibility of diffusion?
they have a large surface area and are important
Is active transport vital to living organisms?
Yes it is. There are many examples of active transport in living organisms.1. Plant roots absorb minerals from the soil water surrounding them by active transport.2. In the Human body, the glucose formed during digestion passes from the small intestine into the blood stream by active transport.
Why is transport materials essential in living organisms?
Essential materials, such as nutrients and oxygen have to be transported to different parts of the body in living organisms. Without this mechanism, life will not be sustained.
Why is transport of materials essential in living organisms?
Essential materials, such as nutrients and oxygen have to be transported to different parts of the body in living organisms. Without this mechanism, life will not be sustained.
Which is used for oxygen transportation in living organisms?
Im guessing you were asking whether diffusion, osmosis or active transport is used for oxygen transportation in organisms. Diffusion is the random movement of particles from an area with a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. So in humans for eample, gas exchange occurs in the lungs where there is a lower concentration of oxygen in the blood and a high conc of oxygen in the lungs. The oxygen then diffuses into the blood.
List three examples of diffusion which occur in living organisms?
Respiration takes place in body tissues and the lungs be the process of diffusion where CO2 and oxygen are exchanged.Read more: What_is_an_example_of_diffusion_in_living_organisms
Differences between diffusion and active transport?
Diffusion occurs only due to the concentration gradient i.e. slovent move from its high concentration to low concentration side, where as active transport also take use of energy mostly in the form of ATP in living beings and can occur against concentration gradient.
Why does NaCl not require a transport protein for diffusion?
It does require a transport protein as it disassociates into charged ions and it is not lipid soluble. Only lipid soluble molecules diffuse freely through living membranes.
