Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

in an area and a large number is another area and they have no barrier between them the random motion causes numbers to even up; this is called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The concentration gradient is when the concentration is different for each region. The faster the rate of diffusion depends on the greater the concentration gradient. A state of equilibrium is when the number of molecules becomes evenly distributed and the net

substances can move across the cell membrane and in which then helps in the function of the body (cells‚ tissues and organs) overall. There are 3 processes that a substance can move across the membrane‚ theses are diffusion (simple and facilitated)‚ osmosis and active transport. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive processes‚ which mean they do not need energy to occur‚ whereas active transport does require energy. All three processes are involved in many functions of the body‚ including photosynthesis

Diffusion‚ Osmosis and Active Transport Substances will move through the membrane by diffusion. This is the random spreading out of particles until they are even. For example‚ when you put your instant coffee in boiling water‚ the coffee particles spread out and fill the entire mug‚ this is diffusion. A second way that substances can move through the cell membrane is by osmosis. This is a special type of diffusion where water moves from a high to a low concentration through a ’partially permeable

influential empires such as Imperial Rome and the Han Dynasty emerged exhibiting numerous resemblances‚ due to cultural diffusion‚ as well as various distinctions from each other regarding political control. Methods of transportation and communication benefited the government by linking and unifying crucial parts of both empires. Both empires had a system of roads that facilitated communication‚ trade‚ economic activity‚ and the movement of military. Although both empires possessed a well-organized
