A
It is the net movement of particles from an area of High Concentration to an area of Low Concentration.
2
Q

A
It is when energy is not required for particles to move as it is a random process.
3
Q
Why doesn’t Diffusion require any energy from the cell?
A
This is because it is a Passive Process.
4
