What is diffusion? How diffusion differ from osmosis?
Answers
Explanation:
When people discuss osmosis in biology, it always refers to the movement of water. ... 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 (water molecules) cross the membrane.
Answer:
Diffusion:-
It is process of movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is called diffusion.
• It involves movement of solute particles.
• It doesn’t involve semi-preamble membrane.
• It can occur to long distances.
Osmosis:-
Osmosis is movement of water molecules across a semi-preamble membrane from their higher concentration to lower concentration.
• It involves movement of water molecules.
• It involves semi-preamble membrane.
• It occurs to only short distances.
