Solution

Simple Diffusion process:

  • The simple diffusion process is the phenomenon of moving the substance through a semipermeable membrane.
  • A semipermeable membrane does not allow all the substances to go through its surface. So it is also known as a selectively semipermeable membrane.
  • In this process, the movement of the substance is through the surface of the membrane.

Names of organisms that perform simple diffusion process:

  • The organisms which show this process are unicellular organisms like bacteria, amoeba, etc.
  • Unicellular organisms are organisms, as the name suggests that they perform all the metabolic processes in a single cell.
