difference between osmosis and diffusion
Answers
→The movement of liquid (solvent) especially water from the higher region concentration to the region of lower concentration, through the semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
→The movement of molecules (solid, liquid or gases) from a region of higher concentration to the lower region concentration, but not necessarily through a semi-permeable membrane is called diffusion.

Examples;
★In plants osmosis is helpful in absorbing water from the soil, it helps in maintaining water level, even at the time of loss of water, cell to cell diffusion, also provide mechanical support
★If a drop of blue ink is put in the jar filled with water, the ink will get evenly distributed all over the water, and the particles will get distributed everywhere, this is the simplest example of Diffusion
