Osmosis is specifically the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a small semipermeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of other particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, either directly across the phospholipid bilayer or through protein channels imbedded in the phospholipid bilayer

Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
Explain the relationship between diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration; osmosis is the same thing, but with water molecules, not other types of molecules.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What are 3 different passive transports?
Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion

How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?
Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
How do osmosis and diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
