Question

Difference between diffusion and osmosis ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\star\underline{\mathtt\orange{a} \mathfrak\blue{n } \mathbb\purple{ Տ} \mathbb\pink{wer}}\star\:$

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\tt \red{Osmosis}$

• 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.
• It is limited only to the liquid medium.
• Requires a semipermeable membrane
• Requires water for the movement of particles.
• The flow of particles occurs only in one direction.

=> For example, the absorption of water molecules from the soil through the roots of the plant.

$\tt \red{Diffusion}$

• The process of moving particles from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
• Simple diffusion does not require energy in order to take place; however, facilitated diffusion requires ATP.
• Occurs in liquid, gas and even solids.
• Does not require a semipermeable membrane.
• Does not require water for the movement of particles.
• The flow of particles occurs in all the directions.

=> An example of diffusion of the perfume sprays into the air by spreading the aroma.
