No it isn't same. because in chemistry diffusion means mixing of two substances in each other. for example in aerosol colloid air and water are diffused means that they have covered the inter particular spaces.
but in bio diffusion is something else. in bio it means that travelling of a liquid or gas from one place to another by semi permeable membrane or as the REILY have said. we can take example of diffusion of oxygen has and carbon di oxide gas in our lungs. it is like this, when oxygen is brought in lungs , it is filled in alveolar sacs ( air bags ). alveolar sacs have capillaries around them. as the co2 gets diffused in alveolar sacs the oxygen on other side gets diffused in blood and make it oxygenated.
