Question

16) Write 3 differences between diffusion and osmosis.

Please help me out with this question!
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

diffusion -occurs in liquid solid  and gas

osmosis-occurs in liquids

osmosis-Occurs only between similar types of solutions.

difussion-Occurs between the similar and dissimilar types of solutions.

osmosis-Not associated with uptake of minerals and nutrients.

diffusion-It helps in the uptake of minerals and nutrients.

Answer 2

Answer:

In diffusion free particles move through space from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

In osmosis Solvent particles move through a semipermeable from am area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of solute.

differences- 1)Diffusion has free flowing particles

                    1)Osmosis has solvent particles

                    2) Diffusion can take place when there are to areas of varying            concentration of gas  at a constant temperature  

                    2) Osmosis takes place only when there is a layer of semipermeable membrane in between areas of high concentration of solute to an area of low concentration of solute at a constant temperature.

                    3) Diffusion usually takes place where gasses are present

                     3) Osmosis usually takes place in cells

hope this answer helps you.
