Answer:
Diffusion ensures that the metabolic processes in both types of cells/organisms may develop appropriately, diffusion is crucial for both plants and animals.
The spontaneous movement of particles caused by their thermal energy from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration is known as diffusion.
Animal and plant cells have similar structures. Plant cells have a rigid cellulose wall that offers protection without obstructing the diffusion of ions and water into the plasma membrane.
For instance, water and CO2 diffusion are necessary for photosynthesis in plants, while perspiration produces water vapor by a diffusive mechanism.
- Diffusion has a role in all chemical processes, including the roots' ability to absorb minerals from the soil solution.
