Which of the following most accurately describes diffusion?
A)ATP-driven
B)Passive transport
C)Requires a pressure or pushing force
D)Causes solute to move uphill

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion is a passive transport process that moves molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It does not require cellular energy or a pressure gradient. Option A is incorrect because ATP is not involved in diffusion. Option C is incorrect because diffusion does not require a pressure or pushing force. Option D is incorrect because diffusion always moves solutes down the concentration gradient and does not cause movement uphill.
