Question

correctly match the term and definition: the tendency of solutes to move along their concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
options: exocytosis, active transport, endocytosis, diffusion, osmosis, i dont know yet

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Exocytosis: Process of vesicles fusing with plasma membrane to release contents outside the cell, not related to solute movement along concentration gradient.
• Active transport: Movement of solutes against concentration gradient (from low to high) using energy, opposite of the described process.
• Endocytosis: Process of cell taking in substances by engulfing, not about solute movement along concentration gradient.
• Diffusion: Defined as the movement of solutes (or particles) from an area of high concentration to low concentration along the concentration gradient, which matches the given definition.
• Osmosis: Specific type of diffusion involving water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane, not the general solute movement as described.
• "I DON'T KNOW YET" is not a valid scientific term for this process.

Answer:

D. Diffusion
