Membrane Diffusion

Membrane Diffusion is a passive transport mechanism whereby molecules or ions move across a biological membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, driven by the chemical potential gradient and mediated by the inherent fluidity and selective permeability of the lipid bilayer.
