Defusion and osmosis?
Diffusion is when there is lower concentration in one area than another so the particles that are in the area with higher concentration move to the area with lower concentration to make the concentration same in both areas. Osmosis is a type of diffusion but diffusion that only has water involved. So if there's no water... it's not osmosis. It's gotta be diffusion.
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.
How do osmosis and diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
What uses water osmosis or diffusion?
diffusion uses water to move molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration but in osmosis it is the same but without water. One example of osmosis:people entering a train station(higher concentration) to inside the train(lower concentration).
Give the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
diffusion- it is the type of passing of liquid from one part to another. it has semi-permeable membrane to pass the liquid. osmosis-it is the type of passing liquid but it has no membrane.
What is one way that osmosis is the same as diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion are the same because they are both ways that molecules are carried across the cellular membrane with the concentration gradient.
How do diffusion and osmosis affect cells?
diffusion does the thing and osmosis does the other one. 10/10 gameinformer
How are diffusion and osmosis the same?
they are processes in biology. yeah.
An odor moving from one part of the room to another is osmosis or diffusion?
diffusion. Osmosis is movement across a semipermeable membrane

Is osmosis one kind of diffusion?
yes
How do diffusion and osmosis differ from one another?
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.

What Small droplets of liquid can pass through a cell membrane by the process of?
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.

What are the examples of simple diffusion?
Osmosis is one of the easiest-to-understand examples of diffusion. Past that, you will need to define 'simple'.
