The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.

What two requirements distinguish osmosis from diffusion?

Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion involves the movement of particles (e.g., ions, molecules) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The key requirements that distinguish osmosis from diffusion are the presence of a semi-permeable membrane and the movement of water molecules specifically in osmosis.


What is relationship between osmosis and diffusion?

The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.


What is the distinguish between diffusion and osmosis?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. In osmosis, water moves to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane.


Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.

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.


The difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis is the spreading of water from a high to low concentration while diffusion is the spreading of molecules or particles from a high to low co?

The key difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion is the movement of molecules or particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis involves the movement of only water molecules, while diffusion can involve any type of molecule or particle.
