Question

Differentiate between diffusion and osmosis plzz

Answer 1

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. The material that diffuses could be a solid, liquid or gas. Similarly, the medium in which diffusion occurs could also be in one of the three physical states.

osmosis - the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. the diffusion of fluids through membranes or porous partitions.Compare endosmosis, exosmosis.

Answer 2

1. Diffusion : Some substance like carbon dioxide or oxygen can move across the cell membrane by a process called Diffusion .

2. Osmosis : The movement of water molecules thruogh such a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.
