can I get some help !?
Hey there! How may I help you?
Jim is in a crowd of people at the mall looking for his girlfriend Tammy, who was supposed to meet him for dinner. Jim realizes Tammy is across the room as he catches a whiff of her overpowering perfume, 'Paris #6'. Which process explains why Jim is able to smell the perfume? A.osmosis B.diffusion C.active transport D.facilitated diffusion @Abhisar
Whatdo you think it should be?
Do you know about all the processes mentioned in the options?
kind of
So tell me which one do u think fits the situation and why?
diffusion?
@Abhisar
Well that's correct.
\(\bf Osmosis\) is a special kind of diffusion in which water as a solvent moves from its higher concentration area to lower concentration area across a semi-permeable membrane.
\(\bf Active-Transport\) is on other hand is a process in which substances are transported from lower concentration region to higher concentration region by using energy.
\(\bf Facilitated-Transport\) is a kind of transport system which is guided by \(\bf Channel-Proteins\). This system does not require energy and transports the material from higher to lower concentration.
The only option left is \(\bf Diffusion\). It is the process in which gases spread from their higher concentration to lower concentration.
Making sense?
