The conditions that would cause a molecule to diffuse from outside to inside of a structure is a higher concentration of that molecule outside and the presence of a semipermeable membrane that facilitates its passage.
Explanation:
The process by which a molecule passes from a place where it is more concentrated where its concentration is lower - crossing a semipermeable membrane - is called simple diffusion.
<u>Simple diffusion is a mechanism that does not require energy and responds to a concentration gradient</u>. When a molecule is more concentrated in a space it can enter the space where it is less concentrated
.
The cell membrane is an example of a semi-permeable membrane where the simple diffusion process occurs.
