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.
Originally Answered: Why does diffusion occur in a cell? Diffusion is a process that occurs when a substance such as water, molecules, and ions, which are usually needed for various cellular processes, enter and leave cells. The way that cell diffusion happens is by molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Views.
