high concentration of solutes
multiple - choice question
diffusion is the process in which molecules_
travel from a low concentration to a high concentration.
stop moving when equilibrium is reached.
travel from a high concentration to a low concentration.
rewatch
Diffusion is a passive transport process. Molecules move down their concentration gradient. This means from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Molecules do not stop moving at equilibrium; they continue to move but there is no net change. The first option (travel from low to high) is against the concentration gradient (active transport concept). The second option (stop moving at equilibrium) is incorrect as molecular motion (Brownian motion) continues.
