Diffusion is the process in which particles move from a high concentration area to a low concentration area.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water, again to equalise concentrations.
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (water) into a cell where the concentration of a solute is higher, the lower concentration of solute being outside the root cells. Diffusion involves the spreading of a solute from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration within a solvent.Osmosis is made possible by a semi-permeable membrane which allows the solvent in, instead of allowing the solute out.
Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.
Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
diffusion- it is the type of passing of liquid from one part to another. it has semi-permeable membrane to pass the liquid. osmosis-it is the type of passing liquid but it has no membrane.
They both happen within the cell membrane.

Dialysis only refers to the transfer of the solute, while the transfer of the solvent is called osmosis.
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.
Tonicity refers to the measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions. The higher the difference in the tonicity between the two solutions, the more osmosis transpires.
osmosis refers to the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion refers to everything else tending towards equal concentration.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
true
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
