Nina [5.8K]
Hello there!

The principle of diffusion consists in the movement of substances through a membrane from a zone with high concentration, to a zone with low concentration, until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane. 

An example of diffusion is the process that happens when we breathe. Two substances in the body that will move based on the principles of diffusion are Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. Carbon Dioxide will move from the bloodstream to the alveoli, and Oxygen will move from the alveoli to the bloodstream.

When the body is not receiving enough calories from other nutrient sources like carbohydrates and fats, the available protein is the used as energy to meet the body's energy demands, by converting it to fat.

Note that, excess intake of protein can be harmful to the body.
