Where there are two (or more) substances in contact, diffusion happens as particles of one substance move from an area where there are a lot of those particles to an area where there are fewer of those particles. The process can happen in the gas, liquid and solid phase.
Note, diffusion is driven by random movement of the particles not by mechanical mixing, the phase of the system will therefore largely determine the rate of diffusion.
The term is also used in a more abstract manner to describe spreading of something more widely. The movement of a substance from a region of high concentration into a region of low concentration is called diffusion.
No, diffusion is not an act of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the input of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Diffusion in a system can be calculated using Fick's law of diffusion, which states that the rate of diffusion is proportional to the concentration gradient. The formula for calculating diffusion is D (C2 - C1) / (X2 - X1), where D is the diffusion coefficient, C is the concentration, and X is the distance.

The diffusion of water refers to the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process occurs naturally to achieve equilibrium and is important for processes like osmosis in living organisms.
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a measure of water diffusion in all directions, while mean diffusivity is a measure of the average diffusion within a voxel. ADC includes the effects of both isotropic and anisotropic diffusion, whereas mean diffusivity reflects the overall diffusion within the voxel. In DTI, ADC is calculated as the average of the three eigenvalues, which correspond to the three principal diffusion directions and contribute to mean diffusivity.
what do you mean
proliferation
Hahahahaa i was also looking for that answer....
well ask yourself what does diffusion mean and compare it to cellular respiration and photosynthesis
When two cultures blend.
The diffusion current in a metal-semiconductor diode is derived based on the assumption that the depletion layer is large compared to the mean free path, so that the concepts of drift and diffusion are valid.
The root mean square distance is a measure of how far particles move on average in a system. In diffusion, particles move randomly and spread out over time. The root mean square distance increases as diffusion occurs, showing a direct relationship between the two.

diffusion
I think you mean how does it affect cells but im not sure
It is after diffusion when the number of molecules is equal in all areas.
