Question

Diffusion:

a. creates a concentration gradient between two regions
b. reverses a concentration gradient between two regions
c. eliminates a concentration gradient between two regions
d. has no effect on the concentration gradient between two regions
e. is not dependent upon a concentration gradient between two regions

Answer 1

Diffusion is a passive process of transport where substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until the concentration is equal across a space. It creates a concentration gradient between two regions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is a passive process of transport. A single substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until the concentration is equal across a space. Diffusion creates a concentration gradient between two regions. It does not reverse or eliminate the concentration gradient, but rather moves substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
