Let's take something obvious. Where would a crowd of persons move faster? Where there is absolutely nothing to prevent their passage or where there is an open gate? The same thing applies to the movement of ions. Movement of ions through ion channels is a slower process because (with a more scientific approach!) their movement is determined by the number of these ion channels whereas for diffusion, there is absolutely nothing to prevent the passage of the molecules.
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis

A membrane that permits the passage of only certain molecules is called a semi-permeable membrane. In its simplest form, this separation process is based on molecular size. Smaller molecules pass through and larger ones are retained. In most biochemical processes, a concentration gradient drives the movement of molecules through the membrane.

The homeostatic process is characterized by the diffusion of water molecules is called osmosis. The special case of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a membrane.Ê
Diffusion.
Diffusion is not a substance. It is a physical process. Diffusion is the process where there is a movement of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce. A more technical definition would be: Diffusion is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
