Giving Brainliest to Correct Answer!!!! 

There is a higher sodium concentration on the inside of the cell than there is on the outside of the cell. How will the sodium particles move and by what process? (include how you know plz)

A.Sodium will move from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell by osmosis. B.Sodium will move from the outside of the cell to the inside of the cell by diffusion. C.Sodium will move from the outside of the cell to the inside of the cell by osmosis. D.Sodium will move from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell by diffusion.

The answer is d. Since the sodium concentration is higher inside the cell, it'll move down the concentration gradient, to a place where there is less sodium.
Note that it's diffusion instead of osmosis. Osmosis is only about the movement of water molecules, but not any other material. Therefore it's diffusion.

Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process by which solute move passively from the region of high solute concentration to the region of lower solute concentration.

In contrast, osmosis refers to the process of passive movement of water from the region of higher solvent region to the region of lower solvent region.

As the sodium concentration is higher inside the cell so, the sodium would move outside the cell through the process termed as diffusion.
