Want this question answered?
If you put an egg in vinegar, then this process would be called osmosis because osmosis is the movement of solvent particles (in this vinegar), while diffusion is the movement of gas, solute and solvent particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Strictly speaking, osmosis means the diffusion of waterthrough a semipermeable membrane. I'm not certain what the generic term for other solvents would be.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, usually through a semi-permeable 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.
No. Osmosis is process that only involves the movement of water. Oxygen would have to move through diffusion.
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
Diffusion?
If osmosis and diffusion didn't exist then cells In things would be dry and shrink
Diffusion and Osmosis.... I think. It would be better to double check ;)
The answer depends on what you wish to compare and contrast it with.
The moods of the speakers are different, and you would contrast them in a compare-and-contrast.

You would use a pie chart to compare and contrast information.
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
Diffusion is the movement of a mineral or nutrient moving across the concentration gradient of a membrane. The closest word to diffusion would probobly be osmosis, which is the movement of water through a membrane.
