Question

differntiate between osmosis and diffusion

Answer 1

osmosis is the diffusion of water from higher concentration gradient to lower concentration gradient through a semi permeable wall and diffusion means the movement of air from higher concentration to lower concentration

Answer 2

Hi friend !!

OSMOSIS

* The transfer of particles from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

*It operates in a liquid medium only.

*It depends on solute potential. The number of particles of substances dissolved in fluid are responsible.

DIFFUSION

*It is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to that of its lower concentration.

*it operates in all mediums -solid liquid and gas.

*it doesn't depend on solute potential. It depends on the presence of other substances ...



Hope that helps !
