Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a partially permeable membrane, from a solution of less negative water potential, to a solution of more negative water potential.
Both Diffusion and osmosis occur down the concentration gradient.
Basically they are the same thing, but osmosis is the diffusion of water in solution, rather then gaseous diffusion. We use the term osmosis to differentiate between gaseous transport and water movement.

Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without the need for a membrane. Osmosis specifically involves water molecules, whereas diffusion can occur with various types of molecules.

Is diffusion the same thing as Osmosis?
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
5 differences between diffusion and osmosis?
The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
