Osmosis is the random movement of particles across (through) a partially permeable membrane along a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion is the random movement of particles in a solution from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Eventually the particles will be uniformly and randomly distributed.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
The process of diffusion or osmosis aims to reach equilibrium.
What are the examples of simple diffusion?
Osmosis is one of the easiest-to-understand examples of diffusion. Past that, you will need to define 'simple'.

What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
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
