What is the result of diffusion?
a) there is a lower concentration of a particular molecule inside the cell
b) there is a higher concentration of one Type: of molecule inside the cell
c) there is an equal concentration of a particular molecule inside and outside the
cell
d) there is a higher concentration of water outside of the cell

Respuesta :

Answer:

C ) There is an equal concentration of a particular molecule inside and outside the cell.

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process in which particles move from high concentration to low concentration until both of them have equal concentrations.

Answer:

The result of the diffusion is that there is an equal concentration of a particular molecule inside and outside the  cell (option c).

Explanation:

Diffusion is a mechanism by which a substance can pass through the cell membrane without the use of energy. This allows the availability of such substance inside the cell.

As a result of diffusion, an equal distribution of a substance in the extracellular and intracellular spaces is achieved, called dynamic equilibrium. This denomination is due to the fact that, even though there is the same concentration of molecule outside and inside the cell —equilibrium— the movement of the substance continues to occur.

The other options are not correct because:

    a and b. Thanks to diffusion there is no higher or lower concentration of a type of molecule inside the cell, but rather the distribution is equal to the extracellular space.

    d. The amount (concentration) of water ioutside the cell does not depend on the diffusion.
