Osmosis is a special case of diffusion in which the molecules are water and the concentration gradient occurs across a semipermeable membrane. ... Reverse osmosis occurs when the water is moved across the membrane against the concentration gradient, from lower concentration to higher concentration.

Osmosis - The process in which the solvent ( water molecules ) moves from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane till it reaches the equilibrium is called Osmosis.

Reverse Osmosis ( RO) - Due to hydrostatic pressure greater than the osmotic pressure the water is moves across the membrane against the concentration gradient, from lower concentration to higher concentration.
