State

Diffusion is the passive movement of a substance from higher to lower concentration until the concentration is equal throughout a space.

Show

Ammonia vapor released from a bottle spreads outward through a room, thinning as it moves from its point of highest concentration.

Watch for

Diffusion needs no cellular energy — the concentration gradient itself, not the cell, drives the movement.
