Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
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.
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.

What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.

Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
How are osmosis and diffusion defferent?
by... osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule across and athe diffusion is the process by which molecules speards from area
What is osmois?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane but most of what is called osmosis in cells is actually due to a what related proccess?
Diffusion and Convection. In molecular diffusion, the moving entities are small molecules. Diffusion is the thermal motion molecules at heated temperature. Diffusion rate is a function of only temperature, and is not affected by concentration. I do believe this answer is most likely wrong.

What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
Where does diffusion occur in fish?
Fish use diffusion and osmosis to keep their tissue healthy. Diffusion starts in the gills and for some small molecules can happen in the gut walls as well.
The roles of Osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion - the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis - the diffusion of water (across a membrane)
