Question


9. Refer to the figure below. Areas A and B are separated by a membrane that is permeable to a substance x. which set of conditions will result in the greatest rate of diffusion of X into area A? The concentration of X in A is 5 mM; the concentration of X in B is 1 . The concentration of X in A is 200 mM; the concentration of X in B is 250 mM. The concentration of X in A is 50 mM; the concentration of X in B is 60 mM. The concentration of X in A is 10 mM; the concentration of X in B is 2 M. The concentration of X in A is 1 M; the concentration of X in 8 is 500 mM.

Explanation / Answer

Option (4) is correct

Diffusion is a passive transport when a substance flow from high concentration to low conc. Through a membrane.

Concentration difference is max. In option 4
