The region of the human alimentary tract that has both the largest population of bacteria and the greatest species diversity is the the colon.

<h3>The normal flora of the alimentary tract</h3>

Normal flora are those microorganisms that resides in a living organism without causing it harm or diseases.

These normal flora become established in different parts of the body from birth such that the normal flora found in the mouth is not the same as the one found in the colon of the alimentary tract.

From research works, the large intestine (colon) is known to contain 100 billion per milliliter of fluid culture.

The massive numbers of bacteria in the large intestine (colon) creates a great special variation in the flora. The streptococci and lactobacilli found in the colon often adhere to cells by means of capsules surrounding the bacteria.

Therefore, the region of the human alimentary tract that has both the largest population of bacteria and the greatest species diversity is the the colon.

Answer:

C. Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.

Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.

Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.

Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
