Fish use diffusion and osmosis to keep their tissue healthy. Diffusion starts in the gills and for some small molecules can happen in the gut walls as well.

Why is diffusion important to animals?
Because diffusion is how chemicals travel in and out of the animal's cells. If diffusion didn't occur then the animal would die.
Countercurrent exchange in the fish gill helps to maximize what?
diffusion.
Where in the human body does simple diffusion occur?
Simple diffusion occurs in many parts of the human body. Some of these include in the lungs, the skin and in the kidneys.
How long does it take for diffusion to occur?
Diffusion will constantly take place. However the net transfer of particles will cease when a concentration equilibrium occurs. I.e. you have a piece of iron with 0% carbon. you put it into a 20% carbon atmosphere. The carbon will diffuse into the iron until the concentration of carbon is the same in both the iron and the atmosphere. Diffusion will then still occur, but there will be diffusion to the bar and diffusion from the bar at the same rate.
How do fish excrete?
blood in the fish carries the carbon dioxide to the gills where it releaseed into the water
How diffusion will occur?
diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
WHEn does diffusion occur?
Diffusion is quicker at high temperatures and pressures.
Diffusion can occur with no?
no energy
Why do gases show the property of diffusion?
Diffusion occur in all phases.
For diffusion to occur there must be?
For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
Does diffusion occur in the digestive system?
Diffusion occurs when something something something
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
What must there be for diffusion to occur?
a gradient
Does diffusion occur in plasma?
Yes.
What don't the cells need for diffusion to occur?
Cells don't need to use any ENEGRY for diffusion particles to occur/happen
When two gases are mixed what is it called?
A process of gas diffusion occur and a mixture of gases is obtained.
