Answer:

B. High to Low Concentration (crowded --> comfy)

Step-by-step explanation:

In passive transport, substances simply move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which does not require the input of energy. Concentration gradient, size of the particles that are diffusing, and temperature of the system affect the rate of diffusion.

Answer:

B. High to Low Concentration (crowded --> comfy)

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive transport is defined as the transport of molecules from high concentration to low Concentration across cell membranes without using energy. Passive transport is based on the second law of thermodynamics. An example of passive transport is diffusion.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. High to Low Concentration (crowded --> comfy)".
