Question

Explain if a plant was in a very dry environment, how diffusion and osmosis be affected?​

Answer 1

Some plants have genetic modifications to tackle dry conditions and some plants in desert kind of atmosphere have specially adopted structures for effecting osmosis and diffusion.

Explanation:

• Osmosis help plants to absorb water from soil. Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide diffuses to the leaves and then to the cells.  
• The genetic modifications in some of the plants can help in survive and adopt the osmosis in a very dry environment. They also develop defense methods to handle the water loss.
• Some plants in a permanent dry environment like desert have special structures like reduced leaves, hairs, sunken stomata, and so on to conserve water.
