Question 5 • S1S: Biology A (E4403 - AG)

Which statement describes how diffusion works?

Answer
A
Molecules always move from inside of the cell to outside of the cell.
B
Molecules always move from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
C
Molecules always move from areas of low concentration to high concentration.
D
Molecules always move from of outside the cell to inside of the cell.

Explanation

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated. This movement does not always go into or out of a cell; its direction depends on the concentration difference. Therefore, the correct statement is “Molecules always move from areas of high concentration to low concentration.”
