What benefit does diffusion provide the cell? A. divides the cytoplasm B. carries out meiosis C. produces protein D. carbon dioxide moves in and out of the cell

The answer is letter c. produces protein.

Water, ions and molecules requires for cellular processes, can leave and enter cells through a passive process like diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules yet has a net direction to regions of lower concentration in order to reach a balance. Simple passive diffusion takes place when small molecules pass through the lipid bi-layer of a cell membrane. Depending on carrier proteins, facilitated diffusion is imbedded to allow certain substances to pass through, which may not be able to diffuse through cell membrane.
