Difference between diffusion and osmosis
Anonymous:
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. ... Osmosis is a special type of diffusion which includes semipermeable membrane for transfer.

Diffusion happens because of the random movement of particles. ... Osmosis is a specific form of diffusion referring only to the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a partially permeable membrane.

Osmosis - It is the movement of water.
Membrane is required. Movement from low concentration to high concentration of solute.It is associated with liquids.
diffusion- it is the movement of solute particle.Membrane is not required.Movement from high concentration to low concentration of solute.
It is associated with both liquid and gases
