what is the difference between diffusion and osmosis
Answers

Here's what you required --
Difference 1. - Diffusion refers to the movement of both solvent and solute particles from the region of Lower Concentration to Higher Concentration.
Osmosis exclusively refers to the movement of water molecules (solvent molecules) across a membrane from the region of Higher concentration to Lower concentration.
Difference 2. - In diffusion, the solvent and solute particles pass through a fully permeable membrane.
In osmosis, the solvent (water) molecules pass through a semi - permeable membrane.
Hope it helps! Please do mark it as the brainliest answer if you find it relevant! :-)

Hey !!
DIFFUSION
In diffusion, no semipermeable membrane is used.
In this process,the solvent as well as the solute molecules move directly into each other.
It takes place from higher concentration to lower concentration.
It takes place in gases as well as solutions.
It cannot be stopped or reversed.
OSMOSIS
In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is used.
In this process, there is only flow of solvent molecules and that too through the semi-permeable membrane.
It takes place from lower concentration to higher concentration.
It applies to solutions only.
It can be stopped or reversed by applying pressure on the solution with higher concentration.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU !!
