Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.
Diffusion will most likely to occur where there is a high concentration of gas or water then the particles distibute evenly to the area of low concentration. for example if you could smell a turkey cooking in the oven from upstairs without anyone telling you.
This process is called passive diffusion or simple diffusion. It does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane.
This type of movement is called simple diffusion.
Having a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, such as with microvilli or folded membranes, can make simple diffusion more efficient because it provides more space for molecules to pass through the membrane and increases the rate of diffusion.
By the process of simple diffusion.
diffusion
Trans-membrane diffusion.
facilitated diffusion
Small or lipid soluble solutes can pass through the cell membrane via simple diffusion. This process occurs without the need for energy or specific transport proteins, as these solutes can move freely through the lipid bilayer of the membrane due to their size or lipid solubility.
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
This process is called passive diffusion or simple diffusion. It does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of specific proteins, while simple diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the molecules moving freely through the membrane.
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion.
osmosis moves through a membrane diffusion moves from higher concentration to lower concentration
