Question

how do osmosis and diffusion relate to our body

Answer 1

Diffusion is the modality of passive transport, in which the solute passes from the more concentrated solution (hypertonic) for less concentrated (hypotonic). This is in order they become equal (isotonic).

The greater the difference between the concentration, the faster transport. For example, nicotine enters the bloodstream more rapidly than non-smokers than in the smoker, this is due to the fact that this substance is not present in the bloodstream of an individual who does not smoke.

Another example of diffusion is played chlorine in the pool. It will mix the water completely, moving the medium of higher concentration for the less concentrated until homogeneously distributed throughout the pool.

Osmosis is the modality of passive transport, in which the solvent is transporting the medium of higher concentration to the medium less concentrated.

A very simple example to understand osmosis is to observe the action of sugar on the strawberries. When placed in contact with the strawberries, sugar receives the water contained in this fruit.

We also observe osmosis when we swim, since there is a concentration of solute (salt) and higher offshore than that present in our body.

There are situations where both (osmosis and diffusion) occur simultaneously. This is the case for the salt to go into the blood, pass into the interstitial fluid (fluid from which cells derive their nutrients and waste materials deposited) by diffusion. And by osmosis, the water contained in the interstitial fluid will pass into the bloodstream. The result will be an increase of blood volume and blood pressure.

Can you also help me with this problem?

Answer 3

How do osmosis and diffusion relate to the CELLS in our body?

Answer 4

I'm supposed to answer this question by doing the gummy bear osmosis lab? Have u heard of it?

Answer 5

U have to answer ASAP cause I have to go to bed soon it's night time here now

Answer 6

Ok, wait a minute.

Answer 7

Kk

Answer 8

At the cellular metabolism, osmosis is responsible, at least in part by fluid transport between a cell and its environment.

Osmosis is the physical phenomenon that constitutes spontaneous passage of water or other solvent by a semipermeable membrane which separates two solutions. The passage of solvent from the more dilute solution to the more concentrated ceases when the equilibrium is reached between the two concentrations.

Answer 9

get it?

Answer 10

W8 let me read it.

Answer 11

In human cells, osmosis is a process of great importance.

The salt concentration in the cells, for example, is controlled by osmosis system. As there occurs energy expenditure, osmosis is considered a type of passive transport.

Answer 12

(and please, sorry my bad english, brazilian here. hahaha)

Answer 13

Can u please answer my question simply like it dum it down a lot please

Answer 14

Bye I gotta go and if you have anything just post it when I'm back agin I'll check okay? Bye Bye ;)

Answer 15

Well, osmosis and diffusion have different relationships with the cell. But basically speaking, both serve as fluid transport to the cell in order to establish a balance.

Diffusion is the modality of passive transport, in which the solute passes from the more concentrated solution (hypertonic) for less concentrated (hypotonic). This is in order they become equal (isotonic).

Osmosis is the modality of passive transport, in which the solvent is carrying the highest concentration to a less concentrated.

Bye. If you have not understood, ask me tomorrow and I try to explain in a better way.
