How is osmosis related diffusion?

Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
