Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When particles move from areas of high concentration to areas less concentrated, this has taken place.
A
diffusion
B
mitosis
C
endocytosis
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of diffusion, a substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until its concentration becomes equal throughout a space.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

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: -They collide with one another and tend to spread out randomly. As a result, the particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated, a process known as diffusion (dih-FYOO-zhun).
