This lesson will provide you with a definition of facilitated diffusion. Also, an example and illustration will be provided to support your understanding of the process. Because facilitated diffusion is a complex topic you will be learning the definitions of several terms in this lesson.
Death and Dying. Death is the end of life. Dying is the process of approaching death, including the choices and actions involved in that process. Death has always been a central concern of the law.
The term little death, with which la petite mort is often compared, has a similar, though slightly different meaning. Namely, it means a state or event resembling or prefiguring death; a weakening or loss of consciousness, specifically in sleep or during an orgasm. As with la petite mort, the earlier attested uses are not related to sex or orgasm.
