Practice Question

Which of the following best describes the process of diffusion?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Movement of solute molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration

Rationale:

⚪ Diffusion is the passive movement of solute molecules across a space from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

⚪ It does not require energy expenditure, as molecules move naturally along their concentration gradient.

⚪ This process is essential in the body for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

⚪ Unlike osmosis, which moves water, diffusion specifically moves solutes to achieve balance.
