Answer 1

Answer:

When molecules move down their concentration gradient, they move from where they are MORE CONCENTRATED to where they are LESS CONCENTRATED.

Diffusion across a biological membrane is called PASSIVE TRANSPORT.

Explanation:

Substances are transported by active or passive mechanisms. Active transport makes use of energy to move the substances against their concentration gradients while passive transport is driven by the concentration gradient of the substance itself. Passive transport moves the substances from the region of their higher concentration to that of their lower concentration, that is, down the concentration gradients.

Diffusion is the movement of substances down their concentration gradient. Substances are diffused across the cell membranes down the concentration gradients. This movement does not use energy and hence, is passive transport.
