Question

Difference between diffusion and osmosis and it's similarities

Answer 1

Answer:

Diffusion refers to the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration as a result of their random movement.

Osmosis refers to the movement of water particles from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, through a partially permeable membrane.

Similarities:

i) In both processes particles move down the concentration gradient. (from high to low concentration)

Answer 2

Explanation:

diffusion:diffusion is a physical process that refers to the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to one of lower concentration

osmosis:diffusion of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration
