Which of the following statements is TRUE of diffusion? Diffusion of particles along the concentration gradient will occur until particles are equally distributed in all areas of the solution. Diffusion of particles along the concentration gradient will occur until the particles move fully from one side of the solution to the other. Diffusion of particles against the concentration gradient will occur until random motion occurs. Diffusion of particles against the concentration gradient will occur until all the particles have dissolved. Carl is examining an onion root tip cell under a microscope.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water, and can be driven by many different factors, including temperature, pressure, the nature of the location, and solute concentration. Which of these is a requirement for osmosis to occur? Water must flow from low to high water potential. Only within plant cells is pressure required. Temperature must be above 30 C. There must be a semipermeable membrane.
