it is called transportation and this is part of the definition for "osmosis" - the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane.
orrr basically it just means that there is more of that particle in the area of greater concentration than that of the lesser concentration. For example you might put 1cm cubed of black currant squash into one cup of water and this would be a weak or lesser concentration. However if you put 40cm cubed of black currant squash into a cup of water it is a higher concentration and therefore there are more of that particle in that solution.
if you get what i mean :) happy to help if i did xxx
This process is known as osmosis. It involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration (or lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (or higher solute concentration). Osmosis is crucial for maintaining cellular balance and homeostasis in living organisms.
No, the particles of a solid will not mix by diffusion. Diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but in a solid, the particles are fixed in place and cannot move around to mix with each other.
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
Actually, diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, until equilibrium is reached. It is a passive process driven by the natural tendency of particles to spread out evenly.
an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Osmosis
active transport
Technically the particles are moving randomly in all directions, its just that after some time this random movement causes them to spread out, giving the appearance that they are moving directly to the place of lower concentration. Do you need more detail? Hope this helps!

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement is driven by the random motion of particles and aims to reach equilibrium, where there is a uniform distribution of particles.
from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.:melissa*

The molecules of a gas move due to their own kinetic energy from a place of their higher concentration towards lower concentration.
Diffusion can occur in all types of substances, including solids, liquids, and gases. It is a passive process where particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to achieve equilibrium.
No.diffusion and active transports are two different biological processes.diffusion us the movement of particles from one place of high concentration to a place of lower concentration while active transport is the movement of particles acrooss cell membranes against a concentration gradient and this normally requires the expenditure of energy.
