Particles move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration because of the concentration gradient,they move down gradient i.e from high to low concentration
During diffusion, molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area lower concentration.
From a high concentration to a lower concentration. It is a natural phenomenon
Down the concentration gradient
Diffusion
Diffusion is the general term. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane.
when a protein channel allows molecules to cross through the cell membrane this is called facilitated diffusion. many might mistake this for diffusion which is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated.
Generally no, since that is a process of entropy (diffusion of energy), to which all things tend.

Molecules tend to move into areas where there are less molecules. This is called diffusion and can happen with or without energy.

diffusion
That takes energy. Normal diffusion means that the molecules move away from each other (in other words ... to where there are less molecules).

Well, in order for a small molecule to get into a cell, diffusion has to begin. Diffusion is when particles tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. During this process, equilibrium is reached. The cell membrane has to, however, be permeable and/or semi-permeable to certain substances for it to enter a cell.
