Diffusion is simply the movement of one molecule from an area of high concentration to low concentration. It is semi related to the plasma membrane because plasma membrane does allow diffusion, to an extent. Plasma membrane is semipermeable and only allows certain things to diffuse in or diffuse out.

How is the cell membrane facilitated diffusion transported?

In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.

Which organelle is involved in osmosis and diffusion?

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the organelle involved in osmosis and diffusion. It acts as a barrier that regulates the flow of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing for the passive movement of substances such as water and solutes through the process of osmosis and diffusion.
