Question 14 • IL-Science 7 A

Which statement describes the general process of diffusion?

Answer
A
Molecules move from inside of the cell to outside of the cell.
B
Molecules start out unevenly distributed and end up evenly distributed.
C
Molecules start out evenly distributed and end up unevenly distributed.
D
Molecules move from outside of the cell to inside of the cell.

Explanation

Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated. As particles spread out, an initially uneven distribution becomes more even. Thus, the correct statement is that molecules start out unevenly distributed and end up evenly distributed.
