Diffusion is very imporatnt to plants since:

1. The cells have a permeable cell wall

2. It is the only means for gaseous movement within the plant body.

3. Plants cannot transport material by active transport.

4. They are unable to move towards the source of the nutrients.

2. The loading of sugar at source is by passive transport and unloading at the sink by active transport.

3. Both loading at the source and unloading at the sink are by active transport.

4. Both loading at the source and unloading at the sink are by passive transport.
