Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
Osmosis!
Diffusion of a concentrated juice in water.
osmosis
Osmosis refers to water going across a membrane. It is the same as the diffusion of any other chemical, but this term designates only the diffusion of water.
Osmosis
The definition of apparent diffusion coefficient is a measure of the extent of diffusion of the water molecules that are in tissue. It is a term used in reference to an MRI.
Diffusion is the transport of materials from a high concentration to an area of low concentration across a gradient.Osmosis is the term used for the diffusion of water.
Diffusion is to spread something more widely. Water entering in to the confines of a stream is not being spread widely. So I don't think that diffusion is the correct term.
cultural diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane
