Question

In what two ways osmosis is different from diffusion

Answer 1

Answer:

One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move in diffusion, but when we talk about osmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane

Other, to carry out osmosis a semi-permeable membrane is needed whereas not for diffusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

osmosis occur only in liquid medium whereas diffusion can occur in any medium. diffusion is the movement of substance from high concentration to low concentration. osmosis is the movement of water from the area of higher concentration to lower concentration through SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE.
