An aquatic organism releases carbon dioxide into still water. The water near its surface is then continuously replaced with water containing less carbon dioxide.
What is the initial effect on net carbon dioxide diffusion out of the organism?
It decreases because the concentration difference becomes greater.
It increases because the concentration difference becomes smaller.
It decreases because the concentration difference becomes smaller.
It increases because the concentration difference becomes greater.
