Question

1. someone is cooking bacon in your home kitchen, but you can smell it in your bedroom. what is the best explanation of why this happens? (1 point) bacon particles are moving from high concentration (in the kitchen) to low concentration (the rest of the house) atp is being utilized to move the bacon particles to establish equilibrium bacon particles are moving from low concentration (in the kitchen) to high concentration (the rest of the house) bacon particles are being actively pumped across a cellular membrane

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high - concentration to an area of low - concentration. In this case, bacon particles in the kitchen (high - concentration area) move to other parts of the house (low - concentration area) so you can smell them in the bedroom. ATP is related to energy - requiring processes in cells and is not relevant here. Particles don't move from low to high concentration spontaneously in this context, and there is no cellular membrane involved in this simple diffusion of smell in a house.

Answer:

Bacon particles are moving from high concentration (in the kitchen) to low concentration (the rest of the house)
