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.

Answer:
b) The roots grow towards the force of gravity and the stem goes away
Explanation:
The parts of a plant can be divided into shoot and roots. The root of the plant is the part that grows below the ground surface in order to anchor the plant. When a seed germinates, the root part of that seed grows towards GRAVITY i.e exhibits geotropism while the shoot part grows away from gravity i.e. upwards.
Hence, if a seed is planted upside down, it will still grow into an erect mature plant because THE ROOT WILL ALWAYS GROW DOWNWARDS IN RESPONSE TO GRAVITY (positive geotropism) while the stem grows upward away from gravity (negative geotropism)
