Answer:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Hope it helps.

Answer:

diffusion:

• occurs in all mediums solid, liquid and gas.

•do not require a semipermeable membrane.

•depends on the presence of other particles.

•do not require water for the movement of particles.

•both the molecules of solute and solvent can diffuse.

osmosis:

•it is limited only to the liquid medium.

•requires a semipermeable membrane.

•depends on a number of solute particles dissolved in a solvent.

•requires water for the movement of particles.

•only the solvent molecules can diffuse.
