How Osmosis a special case of diffusion?????????????.......xD no spam
Answers
→Diffusion is a net movement of particles of substances from its higher concentration to its lower concentration.
In osmosis, movement of water occurs but across a semi permeable membrane.
Here, in this case, also movement takes place from higher to lower concentration obeying the rules of diffusion.
The speciality is this the movement is only of water. So it seems a special case of diffusion in which water moves across a semi permeable membrane.
