Summary Introduction
To review:
The properties that determine the substances and their rate of diffusion across the membrane.
Introduction:
The process of random movement of particles takes place in order to attain equilibrium is known as diffusion. The diffusion is the net movement of particles of a solution from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration.
