Diffusion is most useful when **cells need something that can move in through the cell membrane, and they have less of it than their outside environment.**
In this scenario, the substance will naturally move from an area of higher concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) until equilibrium is reached. This process is driven by the concentration gradient and does not require energy.
