Osmosis is a very specific type of diffusion. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water from higher concentration to lower concentration. This type of diffusion is unique as it only really involves water movement which occurs through a membrane that is considered semi-permable.
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.
diffusion
Osmosis is a special form of diffusion in that it brings water into a cell, rather than nutrients & other substances.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is a passive transport that goes from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area.Passive transport means that there is no energy required to move it.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.

osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
There's facilitated diffusion, where proteins channel in molcules; then there's active transport where the cell uses energy to bring in molecules that are to large or a different chemical configuration.
Diffusion and Osmosis
Osmosis is responsible for the cells survival. It helps regulate an optimal internal environment by selectively allowing specific nutrients in and waste products out.
Osmosis is just a form of diffusion. They are both the movement of substances and both require a concentration gradient.
Nope! Osmosis is simply the movement of H2O over a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. It's a form of passive diffusion!
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
