Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A molecule that diffuses down a concentration gradient goes from an area of ____ concentration into an area of ____ concentration.

A	high, low
B	low, high
C	passive, active
D	active, passive

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A concentration gradient is the difference in concentration of a substance from one location to another. A molecule diffuses down its concentration gradient by moving from one region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-2: -A molecule diffuses down its concentration gradient by moving from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport.
