Question

Is the process of diffusion dependent on a living system?

Answer 1

Diffusion:

1. Diffusion across the two surfaces depends upon the permeability of the membrane.
2. Diffusion does not depend on the living system because it depends only on gradient & diffusion can occur in the body's living & non-living systems, unlike active transport which only occurs in living systems.
3. No, the process of diffusion does not depend on the living system.
