Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.

∙ 9y agoOsmosis is a diffusion process ,
but one where only water molecules can move.
(a semi-permeable membrane is required)

Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
The process of diffusion or osmosis aims to reach equilibrium.
How do diffusion and osmosis related to each other?
Osmosis IS diffusion - except that only certain molecules are allowed to pass through the membrane.
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
What life function is directly related to diffusion and osmosis?
Digestions is a life function that is directly related to diffusion and osmosis. The nutrients digested are absorbed and distributed via diffusion and osmosis.
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
The process of diffusion or osmosis aims to reach equilibrium.
How is osmosis realted to diffusion?
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent
How do diffusion and osmosis related to each other?
Osmosis IS diffusion - except that only certain molecules are allowed to pass through the membrane.
What Small droplets of liquid can pass through a cell membrane by the process of?
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
How is osmosis related diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
