State 4 difference between osmosis and diffusion
Answers
Answer:
Osmosis
It is limited only to the liquid medium.
Requires a semipermeable membrane.
Depends on the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent.
Requires water for the movement of particles.
Diffusion
Occurs in liquid, gas and even solids.
Does not require a semipermeable membrane.
Depends on the presence of other particles.
Does not require water for the movement of particles.
Answer:
Diffusion:-
it is movement of particles from higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
Occurs in all medium (solid, liquid or gaseous)
Doesn't require semipermeable membrane.
The flow of the particles occurs in every direction.
Osmosis:-
Movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution.
Occurs in liquid medium only.
Requires a semipermeable membrane.
The flow of the particles occurs in all one direction.
