Yes. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, until the concentration of fluids on both sides of the membrane is equivalent.

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.
How does osmosis and diffusion differ?
Osmosis is a type of diffusion but through a barrier (membrane) while "diffusion" is not specified if there is a physical barrier or not. Gases diffuse through each other readily.
How do you describe osmosis?
A special type of diffusion through a membrane
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
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
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
Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?
Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.
Osmosis is a type?
of diffusion (of water)
What two requirements distinguish osmosis from diffusion?
Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport. The two requirements that distinguish osmosis from diffusion are the presence of a membrane and the type of substance.
What is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable memberane?
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
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.
Osmosis is a type of?
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.
