I don't completely understand the question, but I am guessing that you are trying to finish the sentence. If so, the answer is "Diffusion continues until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is <u>equal</u>". The reason it's equal is because diffusion always travels high to low, to reach a point of equilibrium. The particles are trying to move so that water is the same inside and outside of the cell/membrane, and the solute is also equal on the inside and outside of the cell/membrane. If that doesn't make sense, just comment any questions you have and I will try my best to answer :)

Diffusion is the process in which movement of molecules , ions, and atoms take place from region of higher concnetration to low concentration. This diffusion will continues till both side of membrane is equal, because it is the movement of molecule from high to low concentration, so once its became equal concnetration diffusion will not take place.

What happens in animal cells when mineral concentration is high and low in solution

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Diffusion occurs when there is movement of minerals from an area of higher to lower concentration, till equilibrium is obtained.

Whereas Osmosis is the movement of solvents rather then the solute, from a solution of lower to a solution of higher concentration with the help of semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of substances from area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of minerals, which mainly results in animal cells. Whether solute or solvent, diffusion occurs for both. Diffusion does not requires any semi permeable membrane. Diffusion occur in all state of matter, that solid, liquid and gas, whereas osmosis occurs only in liquid state. Osmosis requires semipermeable membrane and rate of which is related to concentration of solute dissolution in solvent medium. Only movement of solvent medium takes place. Classical example of osmosis is exhibited by cell membranes of animal cells. On the other hand diffusion is the spreading of perfume or fragrances to the external air.
