The statement is true, the competitive exclusion principle states that two organisms cannot fill similar niches.
The aveolus is surrounded by capillaries. So capillaries carry deoxygenated blood to the alveolus where the oxygen from the alveolus diffuses into the blood in the capillaries. The deoxygenated blood is now oxygenated and is carried out of the lung via capillaries that then merge into the pulmonary vein.
In other words, alveolus does not have oxygenated blood it just puts oxygen into the deoxygenated blood hat this brought in.
Antarctic fish species requires an adaptation to cold environment. Living at cold temperature environment would demand certain biological responses such as cutaneous respiration, enlarged blood vessels, and producing greater amounts of fat. Most of these fat are composed of higher phospolipid levels which are primarily due to phosphatidylethanolamine. This phospolipid is responsible for destabilizing cell membranes and make it more fluid thereby allowing unrestricted blood flow. The fatty acid composition of the membrane lipid is important for membrane fluidity, this is mainly attributed to unsaturated fatty acids which are responsible for decreasing the order of membrane lipids thereby decreasing viscosity. At extremely low temperatures, organisms with low concentration of unsaturated fatty acids would freeze cell membranes. That's why antarctic fishes have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids.
Osmosis only talks about water molecules
Diffusion talks everything other then the water molecules.
So,
Osmosis : water molecules travel from a region of a higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane via osmosis
Diffusion : Travels from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane via diffusion
If this is a true or false question then the answer is True
