Question

What is the direction of movement of water molecules in simple diffusion?

Answer 1

Simple Diffusion :

1. When the transport of material across any material occurs without the help of any carrier, it is known as simple diffusion.
2. The small molecule present in the aqueous solution dissolves in the phospholipid bilayer and crosses the layer easily by dissolving on the other side again.
3. The rate of reaction is dependent upon the concentration gradient.
4. The direction of movement is from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Final Answer :

The movement of molecules is from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region in the case of simple diffusion.
