Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

For diffusion to occur, which condition must be met?

Answer
A
A hypotonic external environment must exist.
B
A hypertonic external environment must exist.
C
A concentration gradient must exist.
D
Dynamic equilibrium must exist.

Explanation

Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. For this movement to occur, there must be a concentration difference—a concentration gradient. A hypertonic or hypotonic environment is not required, and dynamic equilibrium is the state reached when there is no net diffusion.
