Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Your mother sprays some expensive perfume in one room of the house. She leaves the door opened and the scent travels throughout the house. What is responsible for this?
A
Active Transport
B
Osmosis
C
Diffusion
D
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is because, when the perfume is opened, that gas of the perfume moves from its areas of high concentration to its areas of low concentration. This process is called diffusion. This is the scientific reason behind getting the smell of perfume from far away places.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion is the movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. That’s why, when you spray perfume in the corner of a room, you will eventually smell it on the other side of the room. The perfume molecules are diffusing through the air molecules, which allows the scent to spread.

Detailed explanation-3: -This process is known as diffusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diffusion: Perfume particles mix with the particles of air. Due to diffusion, the particles of smelly gas are free to move quickly in all directions. So, The fragrance of perfume spreads in a room.

Detailed explanation-5: -The smell of perfume travels when the particles of perfume, mix among the particles of air by colliding with each other and bouncing off in all directions. This mixing process is called diffusion., until they are evenly spread out. This causes the smell of perfume to travel in the air surrounding it.
