Question

differentiate between diffusion & osmosis.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Diffusion is the act of diffusing or dispersing something, or the property of being diffused or dispersed; dispersion..

and osmosis isThe net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of high solvent potential to a region of lower solvent potential through a partially permeablemembrane

Answer 2

diffusion:  

1. It is defined as spontaneous movement of an substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

2. It occur in 3 media solid liquid n gas.

3. Semi permeable membrane is not required in the case of diffusion.

osmosis:

1.It is the movement of solvent  molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through semi permeable membrane.

2. It occur only in liquid state.

3. Semi permeable membrane is required in the case of osmosis.
