The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.
A
osmosis
B
diffusion
C
plasmolysis
D
cytolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration. For cell transport, diffusion is the movement of small molecules across the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion. It is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion is a process of passive transport in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
