Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which word describes the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
A
Diffusion
B
Osmosis
C
Active Transport
D
Respiration
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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Passive transport does not require energy input. An example of passive transport is diffusion, the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diffusion is the net passive movement of molecules or particles from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. For diffusion to occur there must be a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-5: -Diffusion. During diffusion, substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, until the concentration becomes equal throughout a space.
