There are many different types of diffusion that occur in the body however in general they all are the process of a substance moving from an area of high concentration of that substance to and area of low concentration of that substance across a semi-permeable membrane such as the plasma membrane of cells. An example of where this happens is where Oxygen diffuses out of the blood and into the cells of the body lining the capillaries to provide oxygen for respiration.<span />

Answer No 1:

Process 1 is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water and carbon dioxide. ATP is released by this process which is used as an energy source.

Process 2 is anaerobic respiration. It is a process which occurs in the absence  of oxygen. This process will also yield ATP.

Answer No 2:

The process 1, cellular respiration, is known to produce 38 molecules of ATP. Out of these, 2 molecules are the result from the process of glycolysis, 2 molecules arise from Kreb's cycle, rest 34 are known to occur from the electron transport chain.

The process of anaerobic respiration is known to make 2 molecules of ATP in total.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

d. Earthworms

Explanation:

Think about it: have you ever actually seen a prion, virus, or bacterium? No, because they can't be seen with the naked eye. Microorganism means that it's too small (hence the prefix micro-) to see.

  • Prions are little misfolded proteins. Viruses are nonliving things made up of a protein and nucleic acid. Bacteria are little prokaryotic microorganisms.
