Question

complete the text to describe the diagram. solute particles moved in both directions across the permeable membrane. but more solute particles moved across the membrane ______________. when there was an equal concentration on both sides, the particles reached equilibrium. to the left than to the right to the right than to the left

Explanation:

In diffusion across a permeable membrane, particles move from higher to lower concentration. Initially, if there is a concentration gradient, more particles will move from the side with higher concentration to the side with lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Looking at the diagram, the side on the left has fewer particles initially, so more particles will move to the left to balance the concentration.

Answer:

to the left than to the right
