Questions and Answers

Which statement best describes diffusion?

  • Movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy. (correct)
  • Diffusion is only relevant for waste products, not nutrients.
  • Movement of particles across a cell membrane requiring energy.
  • Movement of molecules from low concentration to high concentration.
  • What is the main difference between passive transport and active transport?

  • Passive transport moves particles from low to high concentration, while active transport moves particles from high to low concentration.
  • Passive transport is faster than active transport.
  • Active transport only involves diffusion, while passive transport involves osmosis.
  • Active transport requires the cell to use energy, while passive transport does not. (correct)
  • What process is responsible for moving nutrients into a cell by utilizing protein channels?

  • Diffusion (correct)
  • Osmosis
  • Exocytosis
  • Endocytosis
