Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a partially permeable membrane, from a solution of less negative water potential, to a solution of more negative water potential.
Both Diffusion and osmosis occur down the concentration gradient.
Basically they are the same thing, but osmosis is the diffusion of water in solution, rather then gaseous diffusion. We use the term osmosis to differentiate between gaseous transport and water movement.
hope it helps..
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
phagocytosis and exocytosis are come from active transport but osmosis and diffusion is from passive transport
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Diffusion, Osmosis
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
