Diffusion and Osmosis A Brief Look at Cell Membranes What is Diffusion? Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration, until equilibrium is reached. What is Equilibrium? Static equilibrium: no change in the system is occurring. For example, a bucket of water is in equilibrium because there is no change occurring to it. What is Equilibrium? For example, a bucket of water with a hole in it is releasing water. At the same time more water is being poured in the bucket at the same rate it is pouring out. Dynamic equilibrium: changes in the system are occurring
