Question

What are the factors needed for maintaining the direction of diffusion in plants?

Answer 1

Diffusion:

1. Diffusion is a process that occurs as a result of the random mobility of molecules.
2. It results in a net movement of matter from a high-concentration region to a low-concentration zone.

Factors that are required to maintain the direction of diffusion in plants are:

1. The concentration gradient of ions has to be maintained.
2. The membrane potential of the plants also has to be varied in order to maintain the direction of diffusion.
