Question

What type of transport is simple diffusion?

Answer 1

Diffusion:

The movement of solute molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until their concentration distribution is in equilibrium is termed diffusion.

1. Simple diffusion is a type of Passive transport.
2. In simple diffusion, the solute particles move from their high to low concentrations.
3. Since no energy expenditure occurs while the solute moves along its concentration gradient, it is a type of passive transport.
