Diffusion is very important to plants since:

1. The cells have a permeable cell wall

2. It is the only means for gaseous movement within the plant body.

3. Plants cannot transport material by active transport.

4. They are unable to move towards the source of the nutrients.

Assertion      :       Facilitated diffusion is more rapid than simple diffusion.

Reason         :       Facilitated diffusion involves expenditure of energy unlike simple diffusion.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

Diffusion

Find the wrong one.

1 .Dependent on a living system

2. Obvious in gases and liquids

3 .In solids rather than of solids is more likely

4. Diffusion is very important in plants since it is the only means for gaseous movement within the plant body
