Which one is the definition of Diffusion?
A
movement of particles through the cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy in the form of ATP.
B
passage of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane
C
net movement of molecule from a region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration. Molecule down a concentration gradient
D
net movement of molecule from a region of lower concentration to region of higher concentration. Molecule down a concentration gradient
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down the concentration gradient.” Read on to explore what is diffusion and the different types of diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion : Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Diffusion is defined as the movement of individual molecules of a substance through a semipermeable barrier from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration [34].

Detailed explanation-5: -Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion. It is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This is also referred to as the movement of a substance down a concentration gradient.
