Question
A substance moves spontaneously to a region of lower concentration by the process of _______.a. diffusionb. active transportc. passive transportd. a and c
Step 1
Passive transport is a naturally occurring phenomenon where substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process does not require any energy and is a direct result of the second law of thermodynamics. Show more…
