Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
Is osmosis the same as diffusion?
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What can osmosis be described as?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What are the characteristics of a osmosis?
osmosis is the net movement of particles through a partially permeable membrane.
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
