Answer:
Concentration Gradient :-
Concentration gradient is defined as the variation in the concentration of solute from one region to another in a solution. According to this gradient, molecular diffusion takes place from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Osmotic Gradient :-
Osmotic Gradient is a pressure caused by water molecules that forces water to move from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential.
Hope this will help Uh!!!

hey mate...
here is your answer...
Osmosis occurs according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes. Osmosis occurs until the concentration gradient of water goes to zero or until the hydrostatic pressure of the water balances the osmotic pressure.
hope it helps...
