The movement of ions from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called:
A) a concentration gradient.
B) a voltage gradient.
C) diffusion.
D) ionic translocation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of ions from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called diffusion. A concentration gradient refers to the difference in concentration between two areas, and a voltage gradient refers to the difference in electrical charge between two areas. Ionic translocation is not a commonly used term in this context.
