Well there are several terms to describe that process depending on the circumstances. These terms include osmosis, diffusion, convection and advection
Osmosis.
Diffusion
No, diffusion does not occur because of random molecular movement. It is rather as a result of movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to lower concentration.
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
Through Osmosis (The movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration! They absorb it.
Active Transport
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
Active transport usually involves the movement of particles from high to low concentration.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Movement of molecules 4m higher to lower concentration is called osmosis
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). A related term: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). In contrast, active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration but DOES use ATP (energy).
Diffusion.
from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
No, diffusion does not occur because of random molecular movement. It is rather as a result of movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to lower concentration.
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
