Diffusion

Diffusion is one of the passive transport methods. It is where higher concentration travels to a lower concentration.

An example of Diffusion is spraying your perfume all over your body and noticing later that the person beside you smells just like you too. It is because you sprayed too much perfume that causes a high concentration. The one beside you, smells just like your perfume because he or she has a lower concentration. From a higher concentration to a lower one, that’s diffusion. Another example is the powdered juice that is dissolved in a glass of water. The powdered juice has a high concentration which diffuses in the water, which has a lower concentration.


Diffusion was clearly explained to us by Sir Manalo. We struggled at first, but we eventually understand the lesson.
