Reputation: 1571. E-filed in Early February and it took about 7 weeks to get my refund. It might have something to do with the amount as well. I got back $1,500 from the state which is probably more than most people get, so it could have taken longer for the larger payment.
Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion. -the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space. Molecules will always move down the concentration gradient, toward areas of lesser concentration.
What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? In facilitated diffusion, molecules only move with the aid of a protein in the membrane. In simple diffusion, molecules move down the concentration gradient but in facilitated diffusion molecules move up the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion is passive but facilitated diffusion is an active process that uses energy. Simple diffusion requires molecules to move through special doorways in the cell membrane.
