The cell membrane helps control solute flow into and out of the cell. How does a substance that moves by passive transport tend to move? (SC.912.L.14.3) *

Question

1 point
away from the area of equilibrium
away from the area where it less concentrated
away from the area where it is more concentrated
toward the area where it is more concentrated

Answer 1

A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move away from the area where it is more concentrated and toward the area where it is less concentrated. This process continues until equilibrium is reached.

However, based on the options provided, the correct choice regarding the movement pattern of passive transport would be:

away from the area where it is more concentrated.
