Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A can of air freshener is sprayed in the opposite side of the room. Ten minutes later you start to smell the scent. This is an example of
A
diffusion
B
active transport
C
endocytosis
D
osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -For example, if a bottle of air freshener is sprayed on one side of a room, the fragrance would eventually be able to be smelled on the opposite side of the room. The air freshener diffused from an area of high concentration (where it was first sprayed) to an area of low concentration (the rest of the room).

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion is the process of spreading of the gaseous molecule according to their kinetic energy. In this process, particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. If the perfume is sprayed in one corner of a room, it will be smelt soon after in the opposite corner.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is because. Particles of air have space between them.

Detailed explanation-5: -So they spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in the air around through the gaps between the molecules of air in the room. This process is known as diffusion.
