osmosis
diffusion
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.

Osmosis
as diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis
facilatated diffusion
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.
