Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
A
dismosis
B
offusion
C
osmosis
D
diffusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diffusion is defined as the net movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. The molecules in a gas, a liquid or a solid are in constant motion due to their kinetic energy. Molecules are in constant movement and collide with each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration. For cell transport, diffusion is the movement of small molecules across the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Passive transport is a naturally occurring phenomenon and does not require the cell to expend energy to accomplish the movement. In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in a process called diffusion.
