The act of diffusing, or the state of being diffused; a spreading; extension; dissemination; circulation; dispersion., The act of passing by osmosis through animal membranes, as in the distribution of poisons, gases, etc., through the body. Unlike absorption, diffusion may go on after death, that is, after the blood ceases to circulate.
a process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
The movement of solute particals from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy
Diffusion can actually have a couple different meanings. It can mean a net of movement of a substance or a state of being diffused.
The process of mixing of two or more gases to form a homogeneous mixture is called Diffusion.
Lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier gases
endo means inside.
Relocation Diffusion
Diffusion.
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
Diffusion. Diffusion is a passive process, meaning that it requires no energy input from a cell or other source, other than the energy of motion that all substances have above absolute zero (0o Kelvin).
The scientific meaning of diffusion is when the particles separate/spread out
endo means inside.
It's actually from the Latin, meaning "to pour out."
They do not require energy, which is often in the form of ATP.
contagious diffusion, relocation diffusion, expansion diffusion, stimulus diffusion, hierarchical diffusion.
diffusion
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion refers to the simple property of moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so that the concentration of the total area will be equal and balanced (at equilibrium). Diffusion can occur with any substance and does not require but can involve a permeable membrane.

Facillatated diffusion is faster than simple diffusion when solute concentration is low because it uses channels to transport molecules throught the lipid bilayer. Simple diffusion depends upon concentration gradients so the net movement of diffusing molecules depends on the concentration gradient, thus the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion is also a type of passive transport, which requires no energy input, whereas facilitated diffusion is protein mediated transport. Passive diffusion of solute into a cell is linearly related to the concentration of solute outside the cell. Carrier proteins increase the rate of diffusion by allowing more solute to enter the cell. Facilitated diffusion, however, approaches a maximum rate as the carrier proteins become saturated with solute.
