Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a partially permeable membrane, driven by a concentration gradient and being a passive process.
A difusão é o movimento líquido de moléculas de uma área de alta concentração para uma área de baixa concentração através de uma membrana semipermeável, impulsionado por um gradiente de concentração e sendo um processo passivo.
