What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
Answers
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.
