Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.
The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
Osmosis is a specific form of?
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.
How does water reulation by osmosisafct organisms?
Learn to type. Then osmosis will teach you.
Can osmosis occur in the absence of menbrane?
Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs with a semi permeable membrane. It can therefore not occur without a membrane because that is what differentiates it from diffusion.
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
Osmosis is a type?
of diffusion (of water)
Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?
Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis

Is osmosis a type of transport involving elements such as calcium?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that involves elements such as calcium. The elements are moved from high concentration to low concentration.
