osmosis is the movement of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration and diffusion is also the same process but the water molecules have to pass a semi permeable membrane which allows only certain subatances to pass through it.

sorry osmosis occurs through a semi permeable membrane and diffusion is not.

Hey !!
DIFFUSION
In diffusion, no semipermeable membrane is used.
In this process,the solvent as well as the solute molecules move directly into each other.
It takes place from higher concentration to lower concentration.
It takes place in gases as well as solutions.
It cannot be stopped or reversed.
OSMOSIS
In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is used.
In this process, there is only flow of solvent molecules and that too through the semi-permeable membrane.
It takes place from lower concentration to higher concentration.
It applies to solutions only.
It can be stopped or reversed by applying pressure on the solution with higher concentration.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU !!
