Question
Diffusion occurs in extreme intensity in the
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
The correct answer is Gases
Diffusion can occur due to the random motion of atoms that are activated by thermal energy.
Diffusion occurs in extreme intensity in the gases than diffusion in solids and liquids. Example: smell of food, smell of perfume, incense stick which can spread quickly in the room.
- Diffusion in solids: is slow and rare because the particles are rigid and do not move much. For example: chalk on a blackboard.
- Diffusion in liquids: Diffusion occurs in liquids quickly faster than solids because there is small intermolecular space between them but slower than gases. That is why the particles in liquids move freely. For example: if we add blue ink to water, the colour will spread evenly throughout the water.
- Diffusion in plasma occurs through passive diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
- Passive diffusion: Molecules dissolve simply in the phospholipid bilayer, and then dissolve in the aqueous solution on the other side of the membrane.
- Facilitated diffusion: Molecules diffuse in the plasma membrane with the help of membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers.
