∙ 13y agoBoth are passive processes, occurring without any input of energy. Substances diffuse down their concentration gradients; although molecules move randomly, in all directions, the net movement will be from an area of higher concentration toward an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a specific case of diffusion. The term refers to the diffusion of water molecules.

How is osmosis and diffusion alike?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
How are the processes of diffusion and osmosis alike?
both move substance from area of higher conentration to an area of higher conentration
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance

Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.

Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Three types of passive transport?
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.
