The examples of diffusion/osmosis that occurs in our cells are as follows:

  1. O2/CO2 moving in/out of your blood cells as they flow through your lungs
  2. H2O moving in and out of all your cells to maintain homeostasis.

DIFFUSION/OSMOSIS:

  • Diffusion is the process by which gaseous molecules move from a region of higher concentration to low concentration until they are evenly distributed.

  • Osmosis, on the other hand, involves the movement of water from region where it is more concentrated to region where it is less concentrated via a semipermeable membrane.

  • Both osmosis and diffusion are forms of passive transport, meaning that movement occurs down a concentration gradient.

  • The following are examples of diffusion/osmosis that occur in human cells:
  1. O2/CO2 moving in/out of your blood cells as they flow through your lungs
  2. H2O moving in and out of all your cells to maintain homeostasis.

Note that, option B is a form of active transport.
