    Diffusion is the process that allows some molecules, such as carbon dioxide or oxygen, to pass through the cell membrane. Diffusion is vital in the gaseous exchange between cells as well as between the cell and its surroundings.

    The law of diffusion also applies to water. Osmosis is the flow of water molecules via a selectively permeable membrane.
