what is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in living organism ?give one example in support of your answer​
olasank [31]

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.

A woman produces an egg with 24 chromosomes, including 2 copies of chromosome 21. If the egg is fertilized by a normal sperm, th
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

47

Explanation:

We all know that gametes like egg cell and sperm have haploid set of chromosomes but here as per this question she has produced 2 copies of chromosome 21. For the sake of maintaining haploidy, she was supposed to have only a single copy of chromosome 21 as a result of which her egg cell was supposed to have 23 chromosomes not 24.

But, this is a case of non dis-junction. Also, in a normal sperm there are no such copies of any chromosome i.e. there is a haploid set of chromosomes. It means that sperm must be having only 23 chromosomes. So we can easily infer that when the egg cell and sperm will fuse, the zygote will have 47 chromosomes (24 from egg cell and 23 from sperm).
