Question:
Choose incorrect statement related to diffusion
Choose incorrect statement related to diffusion
Show Hint
Diffusion is a passive process that does not require energy; it relies on the concentration gradient.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- Transport by diffusion in plants is limited to short distance
- Diffusion is limited to short distance
- Diffusion is not dependent on a living system
- Energy is spent for the diffusion of substances
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Diffusion is a passive process and does not require energy expenditure. It occurs due to the concentration gradient. Thus, the statement that energy is spent for diffusion is incorrect.
