Imbibition/diffusion is the movement of substances from the region of their higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - Imbibition and diffusion are two processes related to the movement of substances. - Imbibition refers to the absorption of water by solids or colloids, while diffusion is the movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. **Defining Diffusion**: - Diffusion is a passive transport mechanism. This means it does not require energy (ATP) to occur. ...

    Statement-1 : The direction of diffusion current in a junction diode is from n-region to p-region. Statement-2 : The majority current carrier diffuse from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

    Assertion (A): Oxygen enters the cells in the tissues through the thin walls of the blood cap- illaries by the process of diffusion. Reason (R): Diffusion occurs from the region oflower concentration to the region of higher concentration.

    Assertion : When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side. Reason : Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.
