Diffusion

Watch particles spread from high to low concentration

Diffusion is the net movement of particles from regions of high concentration to low concentration driven by thermal motion. Fick's First Law states that the diffusion flux J is proportional to the concentration gradient. Higher temperatures increase particle kinetic energy, speeding diffusion. Membrane pore size selectively restricts passage — larger molecules diffuse more slowly through smaller pores.
