A 0.09 M 0.11 M
B 0.2 M 0.5 M
C 0.05 M 0.6 M
D 0.03 M 0.7 M

C Correct answer
Explanation

A.In the system A, inward diffusion of water takes place with slow rate

B. In the system B, inward diffusion of water takes place with medium rate.

C.In the system C, inward diffusion of water takes place with maximum rate

D.In the system D, inward diffusion of water takes place with high rate

So, the correct option is ‘System C’.

Multiple choice bio-chemistry absorption by roots - the processes involved diffusion transport across membrane means of transport

The factor which does not affect the rate of alveolar diffusion is

  1. solubility of gases

  2. thickness of the membranes

  3. pressure gradient

  4. reactivity of the gases.

D Correct answer
Explanation

$O _{2}$ and $CO _{2}$ are exchanged in the alveoli by simple diffusion. The factors that affect the diffusion are pressure gradient of the gases, solubility of the gases and the thickness of the membranes involved in diffusion.
