A
the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, down a concentration gradient. The particles spread out evenly until equilibrium is reached
2

A
🎃 osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution across a partially permeable membrane.
3
Q
What are the factors that affect diffusion
A
Temperature
Density
Concerntration
4
