Question

Q. Differentiate between Osmosis and diffusion.

​

Answer 1

↪️Osmosis :-

✨Osmosis is the process of passive movement of the water from higher water concentration to lower water concentration through semipermeable membrane.

✨Osmosis occurrs in only liquid medium.

✨It involves the movement of solvent molecules only.

✨It requires a semipermeable membrane.

↪️Diffusion :-

✨Diffusion is the process of the passive movement of material from higher concentration to lower concentration.

✨Diffusion takes place in any medium.

✨The diffusion molecules may be solid, liquid or gas.

✨It does not require semipermeable membrane

Answer 2

Differentiate between Osmosis and diffusion.

The movement of water molecules (liquid) through such a selectively permeable membrane is called 0smosis.

The spontaneous net movement of particles down their concentration gradient called Diffusion.
