\nDiffusion is the net movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. This process does not require a semi-permeable membrane or external energy input and continues until equilibrium is reached.
\n<\/section>\n
\nDiffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOsmosis is a specific type of diffusion involving the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential (lower solute concentration) to a region of lower water potential (higher solute concentration). Plasmolysis and deplasmolysis relate to the effect of osmotic water movement on plant cells.
