Across both sides of the membrane, these partices are in dynamic equilibrium. If they can freely move, what will happen?

a)

The particles will still move across the membrane, but no net gain or loss occurs, and both concentrations on each side remain equal.

c)

Particles from the top of the membrane will diffuse to the bottom of the membrane, going from high concentration to low concentration.
