Test on Cell Membrane Transport

What is diffusion?

• Particles of a substance being moved against their concentration gradient by exocytosis.

• Particles of a substance being moved across a cell membrane by protein pumps.

• Particles of a substance moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

• Particles of a substance moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
