Question

Differentiate betwen osmosis and diffussion

Answer 1

Osmosis is movement of solvent only through a semipermeable membrane and diffusion is movement of any substance through a membrane

Answer 2

Explanation:

Diffusion does not depend on solute potential,pressure potential or water potential.Diffusion mainly depends on the presence of other particles. Osmosis mainly depends on the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent.The movement in diffusion is to equalize concentration(energy) throughout the system.
