What stops the process of diffusion in cells?
insulators
Diffusion will continue as long as there is a concentration gradient present. Once equilibrium is reached and the concentrations are equal throughout, diffusion will stop.
The net movement of osmosis and diffusion stops when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an equilibrium. At this point, there is still movement of molecules back and forth, but there is no overall change in concentration.

Yes, osmosis and diffusion would theoretically slow down and eventually stop when substances are evenly distributed. This is because there would be no concentration gradient, which is necessary for osmosis and diffusion to occur.
No, molecular motion does not stop when diffusion stops. Molecular motion refers to the movement of molecules within a substance, which continues even when there is no net movement of molecules from one region to another (diffusion).
Molecules never completely stop moving during diffusion. Diffusion involves the random movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. However, their movement may slow down or become more evenly distributed as equilibrium is reached.
