Question

what term is used to describe the state in which molecules are evenly distributed in the available space?

1. osmosis
2. equilibrium
3. diffusion
4. apoptosis

question 13 (4 points)

Explanation:

• Osmosis is the movement of solvent across a semipermeable membrane, not the state of even distribution.
• Equilibrium, in this context, is the state where molecules are evenly spread in the available space, with no net movement.
• Diffusion is the process that leads to even distribution, not the final state.
• Apoptosis is programmed cell death, unrelated to molecular distribution.

Answer:

1. Equilibrium
