- The passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration.
- The spontaneous net movement of particles down their concentration gradient (i.e. difference in the concentrations of substances or molecules between two areas).
- (Cell biology): a type of passive transport, therefore, it is a net movement of molecules in and out of the cell across the cell membrane along a concentration gradient.
