Molecules move from an area from where there is a high concentration to an area where there is a low concentration.
This occurs until equilibrium is reach.
After equilibrium is reached, diffusion still occurs. (but in "equal trade")
Diffusion is caused by the random movements of molecules.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process occurs spontaneously, driven by the natural tendency for particles to spread out and reach an equilibrium. Diffusion is important for the transportation of molecules such as oxygen and nutrients in cells and tissues.
Although diffusion is relatively slow, it does not require input energy to take place, as it involves the random movement of particles.

Diffusion can take place if the two substances are?
In close proximity, in contact with each other, and have a concentration gradient.
A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?
Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport that uses transport proteins to facilitate the movement of specific molecules across a cell membrane. These proteins help molecules move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell.
What is diffusion rate proportional to?
The diffusion rate is directly proportional to the concentration gradient, the surface area available for diffusion, and the permeability of the membrane through which diffusion occurs.
What happens in the process of facilitated diffusion In what part of the membrane does it take place?
Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process where molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of specific carrier proteins. These carrier proteins are present in the membrane and assist in the movement of molecules like sugars and amino acids down their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion occurs in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
What is osmosis a type of?
Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.(Biology, chemistry) diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
Where in your body does diffusion take place?
diffusion takes place in the alveoli
Diffusion can take place if the two substances are?
In close proximity, in contact with each other, and have a concentration gradient.
Is a membrane necessary for diffusion to take place?
yes
How does diffusion take place in the body?
P.I.S.O.- Potassium in Sodium out facilitated diffusion, active transport , and passive transport and simple diffusion.
How does rate of diffusion of a gas in a liquid change on heating?
if the temp is higher then diffusion take place faster
Where in the eukaryote membrane do simple diffusion take place?
Cytoplasm
Where does diffusion take place in digestive system?
stomach,intestine
Where did cultural diffusion take place?
China,china,china............
Where does Gas exchange take place in the hydra?
It is simpie diffusion through body surface
How fast does diffusion take?
Faster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy).
Where does the diffusion take place in the respiratory system?
in the lungs
Will diffusion take place in co2 gas and bromine gas?
Yes.
