Question

Inside the cell is 40% helium and outside the cell is 20% helium. Which of

the following will occur? *

A. helium will move out of the cell
B. helium will move into the cell
C.helium will not move

Answer 1

A. Helium will move out of the cell

Inside the cell the concentration is higher than concentration off outer cell so the inner helium well more about of cell

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Helium \ will \ move \ out \ of \ the \ cell}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration. This is the process occurring in this question.

In this cell, 40% helium is inside the cell.

20% is outside of the cell.

40 is greater than 20. Therefore, the helium wants to move from the area of 40% to 20%, which is also from the inside of the cell to the outside. Basically, the helium moves out of the cell.

So, the best answer is choice A: helium will move out of the cell.
