Question

Osmosis is a special case of diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane?justify the statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of diffusion: the diffusion of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. A selectively permiable membrane is one that allows unrestricted passage of water, but not solute molecules or ions.
