What is diffusion? What is facilitated diffusion? What is osmosis?

When a substance has the tendency to diffuse from a high concentration to a low concentration, it can be visualized as a permeable cell membrane. Specifically, given a cell membrane with a high concentration of glucose on the right side and a very low concentration on the left, the glucose on the right side would diffuse across the membrane to the left side until the concentrations of glucose on both sides are equal.

A high concentration of water would migrate to a low concentration of water through osmosis, which is essentially diffusion with water.

When molecules are able to pass through a cell membrane without the need for additional energy, this process is known as facilitated diffusion. The most common example of facilitated diffusion is the flow of water through transmembrane proteins, which function solely on the concentration differences between the molecules on either side of the membrane.

Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, resulting in their even distribution.

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where specific molecules or ions move across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins, down their concentration gradient.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, until equilibrium is reached.

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by the random motion of molecules. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport in which molecules move across a membrane with the help of transport proteins, down their concentration gradient. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by the random motion of molecules.

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move across a membrane with the help of transport proteins, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without the input of energy.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane.
