Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
Diffusion is generally the process in which a constituent moves through a concentration gradient and dispersion is referred to the bulk flow of the molecules.
size, temperature, and concentration gradient. Smaller molecules diffuse faster than larger molecules, as they can more easily navigate through the spaces between other molecules. Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to faster diffusion. A steeper concentration gradient, where there is a large difference in concentration between two areas, also promotes faster diffusion.
true
Concentration gradient= the relative amount of a given substance contained within a solution or in a particular volume of space; the amount of solute per unit volume of solution • the action of strengthening a solution by the removal of water or other diluting agent or by the selective accumulation of atoms or molecules. Diffusion= net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration The concentration gradient is the amount of substance in a particular area (the substance stays together) Diffusion is when the substance gradually spreads out in its' area. e.g: If you spray perfume in a room, eventually you can smell it all around the room because of diffusion. However if you spray the perfume in the room and it just stays in one spot, that is the concentration gradient.
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.
Diffusion flows from a more concentrated to less concentrated substance. The process ends at a point of equilibrium between the two substances. In a word, prior to diffusion concentration is higher on one side and at diffusion both sides are equal.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
The rate of diffusion is directly related to the concentration of gradient. For example, the greater the amount between the concentration of the areas, the greater the greater to difference in diffusion.
The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.
light
Diffusion describes the movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce - or from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration Osmosis is diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane
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.
diffusion: particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration
although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
