Question

diffusion of carbon dioxide across a membrane. chambers a and b are placed next to each other, but are separated by a film similar to a cell membrane. chamber a contains 80% carbon dioxide and chamber b contains 20% carbon dioxide. which of the following will occur? some carbon dioxide will move from chamber a to chamber b. all of the carbon dioxide will move into chamber b. all of the carbon dioxide will move into chamber a. there will be no net movement of carbon dioxide molecules. some carbon dioxide will move from chamber b to chamber a. multiple choice

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Chamber A has a higher concentration (80%) of carbon - dioxide compared to Chamber B (20%). So, carbon - dioxide will move from Chamber A to Chamber B until equilibrium is reached.

Answer:

Some carbon dioxide will move from chamber A to chamber B.
