Question

6. What is Osmosis? How is it different from diffusion?​

Answer 1

the transfer of water molecule from higher concentration to lower concentration through semi permable membrane is known as osmosis

where as the transfer of particles from high to low concentration is known as diffusion .

second difference :

osmosis involves semi permable membrane whereas diffusion doesn't

third: osmosis only occurs in liquid where as diffusion occurs in all states of matter

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

When people discuss osmosis in biology, it always refers to the movement of water. ... One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move in diffusion, but when we talk about osmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane.
