Osmosis is when water molecules pass through a membrane.
For example, if there is more salt outside a cell then inside it, the process of osmosis transports water molecules outside the cell to equalize the concentration of salt.
WordNet's definition: diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal

Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
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.
Is atsara an example of osmosis?
no astara is not related to osmosis ..............
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?

How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.

What is it called when water moves through a porous space?
Osmosis ; see related link below .
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
Osmosis is an example of?
highest water concertration to lower water concertration
Why do plants manage to attract more water in osmosis?
Osmosis the transfer of water through the cell. So when in osmosis the cell needs more water.
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.
When raisins absorb water is it diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
