Question
There are two kinds of diffusion: simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Both of these types of diffusion share the following properties: Question 4Select one:a.all of the above are shared propertiesb.solutes transported are not very large proteins c.solutes move down their concentration gradients d.the process is described as "passive"e.no energy is required
Solution
The correct answer is a. All of the above are shared properties. Both simple and facilitated diffusion are passive processes, meaning they do not require energy. They both involve the movement of solutes down their concentration gradients. While it's true that very large proteins are typically not transported through these methods, smaller solutes and ions can be.
