Which describes simple diffusion?

Solute molecules move across a cell membrane from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Substances move across a cell membrane, a process that requires energy in the form of ATP.

Substances move across the cell membrane, a process that requires no energy.

Water moves across a cell membrane in a manner that is dependent on the concentration of solutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "Solute molecules move across a cell membrane from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration."

Explanation:

Simple diffusion specifically involves the movement of (small, uncharged) solutes across a cell membrane. Since diffusion is part of the passive transport umbrella, it also requires no energy since the solutes move down the concentration gradient - from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Hope that helps! :)
