Expand any node, edit the wording, then export the map or quiz yourself on it.
Understanding Diffusion in a Concept Map
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration, driven by the random motion of molecules. A diffusion concept map groups the topic into its main types and the factors that control how fast substances move across a membrane.
- Simple diffusion: movement of small, nonpolar molecules directly through the membrane
- Facilitated diffusion: transport through channel or carrier proteins down a gradient
- Osmosis: diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
- Factors: concentration gradient, temperature, particle size and membrane surface area
Use the map to review each process and compare how they differ before an exam. To build a map from your own textbook or lecture slides, create one with CogniGuide in a few minutes.

Diffusion Concept Map Questions
Answers on the topic and on making your own map.
What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of any particles from high to low concentration. Osmosis is a special case: the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Why does temperature affect diffusion?
Higher temperature gives particles more kinetic energy, so they move faster and diffuse more quickly across the same distance.
Which files can I use to make a diffusion map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes, or you can type a topic.
Can I turn my diffusion map into a quiz?
Yes. CogniGuide can turn a map into a quiz so you can test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards.
