Question

What is difference BTW osmosis and diffusion??

Answer 1

the differences between osmosisand diffusion it that diffusion refers to the movement of any chemical from one place to another, whereas osmosis exclusively refers to the movement of water across a membrane. also diffusion is the movement of molecules (solute or particles).

HOPE IT IS USEFUL.

Answer 2

Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

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 cross the membrane.
