∙ 11y agoWell, since the membrane has tiny holes in it. Substances can go in and out by moving through the tiny holes. The molecules will continue to move from one area to another until the number of molecules is equal in the two area. When this occurs equilibrium is reached, and the diffusion stops.

∙ 16y agowhen the system is at balance. If water is moving out of a cell that means the concentration of water to solutes is higher inside the cell as compared to outside, once there is an equalibrium then the diffusion will not continue. It has to due with water potential, a pretty tough concept, but there is probably a good explaination on wikipedia. Water potential is what to look for, the symbol scientists use for it is a greek letter that looks like a trident.

∙ 9y agoDiffusion is when a substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. When equilibrium has been achieved, diffusion stops.

Why does simple diffusion end?
Diffusion is complete when there ceases to be a concentration gradient. For example diffusion has ended if the concentration of a substance is equal on the inside and outside of a permeable membrane, this state is also referred to as dynamic equilibrium.
When and where does diffusion happen?
diffusion can happen either in gases or liquids. it happens when a high concentration of something appears and it spreads out until an equilibrium is reached.
Does random movement of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
When equilibrium is reached, there is no net motion of molecules. This does not mean that no molecules are moving. In diffusion, this would mean there are equal molecules leaving as are entering.
Why does diffusion occur and does it always occur?
All Particles move using their kinetic energy. Diffusion occurs because of difference in concentrations. The higher the concentration gradient the faster the diffusion rate. When diffusion happens it mixes both concentrations to obtain an equal concentrations meaning equilibrium has been reached. However, particles still move about from one section to the other, so to be more specific we say that dynamic equilibrium has been reached.
Diffusion continues until there is no?
Concentration gradient. After there's no concentration gradient, equilibrium occurs, which means no more diffusion.
What is equilibirum?
reached and diffusion stops
What stops the cell process of diffusion?
What stops the process of diffusion in cells?
When does diffusion and thus osmosis stops?
When the system is at balance or at equalibrium, diffusion stops..

Diffusion stops when molecules reach the?
equilibrium :)
Does diffusion ever stop?
Yes. When dynamic equilibrium is reached.
When a falling object stops it has reached what?
Typically the ground.
