Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, leading to a homogenous distribution. Equilibrium is the state where concentrations of substances are equal on both sides of a membrane, and while no net movement occurs, molecules continue to move in both directions. Together, these concepts describe how substances behave in biological systems.
