Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.

Passive transport using osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis only applies to the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane. DOH!!!
1. facilitative diffusion-transport proteins provide a pathway for certain molecules to pass 2. osmosis-the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane 3. diffusion- the net movement of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. (out of a sophomore Biology book)... hope this helps <3
Osmosis
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Osmosis is a type of passive transport. It is specialized diffusion. It can occur through the membrane itself. Or through an aquaporin channel protein. Other forms of passive transport include: simple diffusion and facilitated (uses channel protein) diffusion.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water trough a selectively permeable membrane. However, water passes quite easily across most membranes. So it's mostly known as passive transport
Any form of transport that does not require a form of energy, which means that it happens along a concentration gradient (from an area of high to low concentration) and across a selectively permeable membrane (Osmosis)

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion involving the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where it(water) is in higher concentration to where it(water) is in lower concentration.
There are two types of passive transport in a cell:Diffusion - the substance moves down a concentration gradient across a partialy permeable membrane. This requires no energy.Osmosis - WATER moves down a water potential across a partially permeable membrane. This requites no energy.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.

it is osmosis
