Question

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion?

Answer 1

osmosis is the process of low concentration to high concentration diffusion it is the net movement of atoms and molecules from a of region high concentration to a region of low concentration

Answer 2

Osmosis :

• When the solvents molecules moves it is called as osmosis.
• Movement happens from "lower concentration region" to "higher concentration region".
• It requires a semi-permeable membrane.
• Happens only in liquid.

Diffusion :

• When the solute molecules moves it is called as diffusion.
• Movement happens from "higher concentration region" to "lower concentration region".
• It doesn't require a semi-permeable membrane.
• Happens in liquid as well as gas.
