The transport mechanism when particles move from an area of higher solute concentration to an area of lower solute concentration is called what?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the definition of a specific transport mechanism; particles moving from an area of higher solute concentration to an area of lower solute concentration. We need to identify which of the provided options accurately describes this process.
Answer
Diffusion
The transport mechanism is called diffusion.
Answer for screen readers
The transport mechanism is called diffusion.
More Information
Diffusion is a type of transport mechanism where particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing diffusion with osmosis, osmosis is specific to the movement of water, diffusion is the general mechanism.
