Question

Difference between diffusion and osmosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Osmosis- It is limited only to the liquid medium.

Diffusion- Occurs in liquid, gas and even solids.

2. Diffusing molecules may be solid, liquid or

gaseous solutes.

3. Semi-permeable membrane is not required.
