When matter diffuses through a cell it moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is called passive transport, which requires no energy. Opposite to that, active transport requires energy, or ATP, because it is moving things from an area of lower concentration to higher.
No. Water tends to diffuse from a region where it (water) is more concentrated to a region where it (water) is less concentrated. The other way of thinking about this is that water diffuses from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.
the particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated.
Yes, ink diffuses faster in water due to the difference in concentration gradients. Ink particles move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration more rapidly in water compared to a more concentrated medium.
Osmosis
The concentration gradient determines the direction in which a substance diffuses across a membrane. The concentration gradient is a measure of how the concentration of a substance changes from one place to another.
Actıve absorbtıon
Diffusion is the movement of particles/molecules from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area until they are evenly spread.

When ammonia diffuses woth hydrochloric acid, the ammonia is less dense than the Hydrochloric acid, thus causing the ammonia to travel faster towards the hydrochloric acid. A white solid ring should form when both gases meet.

Maybe you mean osmosis?However, osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeable membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.answ2. However, in the oceans, the turbulence is very much less than that of the air. Thus whilst C14 for example diffuses reasonably rapidly in the air, and may be assumed to homogenize after a few years; in the oceans the rate of diffusion is very much slower.And the oceans are known to stratify. For example in the Fiords in New Zealand, there forms a fresh water layer on top of the sea water, and this is known to freeze in winter. The ocean water itself in the same locale never gets cold enough to freeze.
