The diagram below shows the relative concentration of molecules inside and outside of a cell. Which statement best describes the general direction of diffusion across the membrane of this cell?
(1) Glucose would diffuse into the cell.
(2) Protein would diffuse out of the cell.
(3) Carbon dioxide would diffuse out of the cell.
(4) Oxygen would diffuse into the cell.
HELP PLEASE

This is the answer because I have tested it and got it correct. As oxygen-rich (and carbon dioxide-poor) blood travels by a cell the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane to the area of lower concentration inside the cell. It can do this easily because the oxygen molecule (O2) is very small and has no charge or polarity. The oxygen is used up rapidly by mitochondria.

Carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the cell in the given picture. Option C is correct.

Diffusion:

It is the phenomenon in which a substance moves from its higher concentration to its low solute concentration.

Here,

The concentration of Carbon dioxide is higher inside, hence it will move towards the outside due to diffusion.

On the other side, the statements are showing oxygen, proteins, and glucose are moving against the concentration gradient.

Therefore, Carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the cell in the given picture. Option C is correct.
