Osmosis movement of molecules takes place through a semi-permeable membrane.In diffusion there is no role of semi-permeable membrane.It involves movement of only solvent molecules from one side to the other.It involves passage of solvent as well as solute molecules from one region to the other.Osmosis is limited to solutions only.Diffusion can take place in liquids, gases and solutions.Osmosis can be stopped or reversed by applying additional pressure on the solution side.Diffusion can neither be stopped nor reversed
