minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
diffusion is to make materials collide and osmosis is when water goes into a material:)for osmosis try the egg expierment!
They are similar. Diffusion refers to a movement from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water.
Both affected by Concentrations?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane

tecnicly, they arn't osmosis (in terms of life) is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane diffusion is the natral movement of particls from a higher consintration to a lower consintration.
Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
Osmosis is just a form of diffusion. They are both the movement of substances and both require a concentration gradient.

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.
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis and diffusion are the same because they are both ways that molecules are carried across the cellular membrane with the concentration gradient.
