What are the advantages of diffusion and osmosis?

1. Osmosis is also a process of diffusion, in which the solvent particles travel through a semipermeable membrane. This is used in filtering of water, using reverse osmosis.
2. Diffusion is good, as we light a stick of fragrance, it spreads through out the room. Same is the case with mosquito repellent sprays.
3. The gas in a LPG comes out due to diffusion, from high pressure to low pressure outside.
4. In our biological cell, the transfer of energy through ATP happens using diffusion process, to inside and to outside the cells. THis is due to concentration dependency.
5. Some mixtures can possibly be separated by this process.
6. Diffusion based detection is identified by methane detectors in underground mines. SMoke detectors in buildings are dependent on this process.
7. When a cell is cut inside body, then fluid/plasma transfer takes place based on concentration gradient.

OSMOSIS is very fast
allows large and charged molecules to pass in and out of cells.
It can also work against a diffusion gradient if that is advantageous. However, it requires energy in the form of ATP to take place.
Diffusion is passive
so it requires no ATP
it is much slower and can only take place down the concentration gradient, ie high concentration to low concentration.
