Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration--not to be confused with osmosis, which is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane.

Is Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration?

No, diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in order to reach equilibrium. It is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient.


What is the general process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

This process is known as diffusion. During diffusion, molecules move spontaneously from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. The movement continues until the concentration of the molecules is equal throughout the space.


What is the process of molecules from an area of high concentration to low?

Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.


What is process of molecules spreading from an area of high concentration to low concentration?

Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.


What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrrane during the process of diffusion?

The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.


What diffusion is lower concentration to a higher concentration?

This process is called active transport, where cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to a higher concentration. This mechanism allows cells to maintain specific intracellular concentrations of certain molecules that are different from their surroundings.


Is this true or false Osmosis is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

True. Osmosis is the process by which solvent molecules (usually water) move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
