What is one specific form of simple diffusion?

Question 4 options:

If water moves into a cell by diffusion, it is moving into an area of higher solute concentration.

If water moves into a cell by osmosis, it is moving into an area of higher solute concentration.

If water moves into a cell by diffusion, it is moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

If water moves into a cell by osmosis, it is moving into an area of higher water concentration.

1 answer

The correct statement regarding a specific form of simple diffusion, particularly in the context of water movement, is:

If water moves into a cell by osmosis, it is moving into an area of higher solute concentration.

This statement reflects the principle of osmosis, where water moves toward an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of a membrane.
