Question

difference between diffusion and osomosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs across a semi-permeable membrane. With diffusion, particles generally move from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration, but with osmosis, it is usually low-concentration water passing into a cell with high concentration of another substance to dilute it.

Explanation:

Answer 2

DIFFUSION :

• The nature of the transmitted is solid, liquid or gaseous.
• The presence of a semi-permeable screen is not necessary.
• The direction of molecular flow is from the region of high density to the region of low density.
• Importance : Exchange of gaseous substances in the body, transport of food in the body plants etc.

OSOMOSIS :

• The nature of the transmitted is solution only.
• The presence of a semi-permeable screen is necessary.
• The direction of molecular flow is from the region of low density to the region of high density.
• Importance : Water absorption and transport of plants, preservation of raw fish and meat with salt etc.
