**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Diffusion:** - Diffusion is defined as the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process occurs until equilibrium is reached. 2. **Nature of Diffusion:** - Diffusion is a passive process, meaning it does not require energy input from the organism. It relies solely on the concentration gradient. ...
