Which of the following is the correct statement about passive diffusion?
A)It depends on random motion.
B)It involves active forces.
C) Its rate increases as the temperature decreases.
D) Molecules move from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive diffusion is a type of transport that involves the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient, without the input of energy from active forces such as pumps or channels. It relies on the random motion of molecules to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The rate of passive diffusion typically increases as the temperature increases, as this increases the energy and motion of the molecules. Option D is incorrect, as the movement of molecules in passive diffusion is from high to low concentration.
