Answer:

Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).

Examples of where diffusion is important;

In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.

Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.

Studies show that the use of fat replacers will reduce the risk of obesity. false
EastWind [94]
I think the above statement is false. I believe people use sugar substitutes and fat replacers for the purpose of helping control their weight, to limit the symptoms and risk of conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases adn cancer and to prevent tooth decay, the subject of whether the two helps in the indicated is debatable. However, current research does not show that they help people reduce calorie intake or prevent obesity.
