The process of diffusion or osmosis aims to reach equilibrium.
To reach an equilibrium
Osmosis is the diffusion of water only. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a membrane in order to create an equilibrium.
When the system is at balance or at equalibrium, diffusion stops..
diffusion. Osmosis is movement across a semipermeable membrane
solution is in equilibrium and the solvent and solute continue diffusion or osmosis at an equal rate.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Diffusion and osmosis both come under passive transport and do not need energy.Both of them are down the concentration gradient.
A substance is passing through a membrane across a concentration gradient to the point of equilibrium.
diffusion of water. It moves because it wants to reach equilibrium (equal water on each side)
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
