defference between diffusion and osmosis
Answers
Osmosis and Diffusion Differences :
Diffusion can occur in any mixture, including one that includes a semipermeable membrane, while osmosis always occurs across a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis refers to the movement of water. In chemistry, it's possible for other solvents to be involved. In biology, this is a difference between the two processes.
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.
This can be confusing to understand because while the solvent particles are moving from higher to lower solvent concentration across the membrane, they are moving from lower to higher solute concentration (from a more dilute solution to a region of more concentrated solution).
This occurs naturally because the system seeks balance or equilibrium. If the solute particles can't cross a barrier, the only way to equalize concentration on both sides of the membrane is for the solvent particles to move in.

Here's your answer :-)
Osmosis
The process of moving of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution to equalize concentration. The complete process does not require energy in order to take place.
For example, The absorption of water molecules from the soil through the roots of the plant.
Diffusion
The process of moving particles from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. The complete process does not require energy in order to take
