Which of the following statements is NOT true of diffusion?

A) It is considered to be a type of passive transport.
B) It moves substances from higher to lower concentration.
C) It occurs due to random molecular motion.
D) It requires the energy of ATP.
E) It is a type of physical transport process.

ATP

Adenosine triphosphate, an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things, which captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules.

Diffusion

The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Passive Transport

involves the movement of substances across cell membranes without the need for energy input.
