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.

Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
What is the process of spreading out to fill a sapce uniformly?
Diffusion.
What does net diffusion?
Net diffusion means the total diffusion due to both holes & electrons .
How does Facilitated diffusion differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion uses integrated proteins that act as channels for ions or molecules to pass through.

What does cultural diffusion mean in history?
When two cultures blend.
What is definition of diffusion current?
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.
What are the types of cultural diffusion?
contagious diffusion, relocation diffusion, expansion diffusion, stimulus diffusion, hierarchical diffusion.
How does diffusion effect cells?
I think you mean how does it affect cells but im not sure
What does it mean for a cell to be equilibrium?
It is after diffusion when the number of molecules is equal in all areas.
