A great example is perfume sprayed in a room. A person standing 15 ft away wont smell it right away, but after a minute or two (it has to diffuse through the air) the person will smell it. Also, if you drop a sugar cube in a glass of water, that basically gives you a perfect visual aid of diffusion. These are the 5 types that I know of:

1. Simple diffusion- occurs when molecules moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane without the assistance of proteins or use of energy. This is a form of Passive Transport.

2. Facilitated diffusion-occurs when molecules moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane with the assistance of proteins or but not the use of energy. This is a form of Passive Transport.

3. Active transport-occurs when molecules moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration through a semi-permeable membrane with the assistance of proteins and the use of ATP energy.

4. Endocytosis- large amounts of molecules move toward the inside of a cell. This is a form of Active Transport.

5. Exocytosis- large amounts of molecules move toward the outside of a cell. This is a form of Active Transport.

What are 3 types of expansion diffusion?

The three types of expansion diffusion are contagious diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, and stimulus diffusion. Contagious diffusion occurs when a trend or idea spreads rapidly through a population, much like a virus. Hierarchical diffusion involves the spread of an idea from a person or place of power to other individuals or regions, often following social or political hierarchies. Stimulus diffusion occurs when a cultural trait or idea is adopted and adapted by another culture, leading to variations of the original concept.
