Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs with a semi permeable membrane. It can therefore not occur without a membrane because that is what differentiates it from diffusion.

Facilitated Diffusion
osmosis
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.

In cells
1 diff. Semi permiable membrane is required in osmosis while it is not required in diffusion. 2 diff. Osmosis cn occur only in liquid medium while diffusion cn occur in all mediums.
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.
The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways
no
Osmosis is a transfer through a membrane, so I doubt it. You're likely thinking of diffusion.
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
