Question 110

A learner says simple diffusion stops whenever a cell cannot supply ATP. Which correction is accurate?

  1. Diffusion always uses ATP to move particles downhill.
  2. Diffusion requires a cell to contract around particles.
  3. Diffusion occurs without direct cellular energy input.Correct answer
  4. Diffusion happens only through energy-powered pumps.

Explanation

Simple diffusion is passive, so random molecular motion and a concentration difference can drive it without direct cellular energy input. ATP-powered pumping is a different process and should not be used to define simple diffusion.
