Question

Differentiate between diffusion and osmosis
.

Answer 1

Diffusion

I) it is the movement of salt or mineral molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration.

2) it takes place in any medium such as solid liquid and gas.

3) it does not require any semipermeable membrane

4) it is comparatively a faster process in gases, slow in liquids

Osmosis

I) it is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of their higher concentration to region of the lower concentration.

2) It takes place only in a liquid medium.

3) it requires a semipermeable membrane.

4) it is a slow process

Answer 2

Diffusion — Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Osmosis — Osmosis the movement of solvent

molecules on the region of their higher

concentration to the region of the lower

concentration using a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis .
