more chemistry stuff

Diffusion, the transport of a substance due to its molecular motion, is an important process in both chemistry and biology http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/D01716.pdf

Concepts

• Diffusion is the movement of a substance
• Osmosis describes the diffusion of water into and out of cells
