Question 8 • IL-Science 7 A

Which statement describes the energy involved in diffusion?

Answer
A
Diffusion requires energy in all cases.
B
Diffusion requires energy only to move material in through the cell membrane.
C
Diffusion does not require energy in any situation.
D
Diffusion requires energy only to move material out through the cell membrane.

Explanation

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement happens passively, down the concentration gradient, so the cell does not need to supply energy whether particles move into or out of the cell. Therefore, the correct statement is that diffusion does not require energy in any situation.
