Strictly speaking, osmosis means the diffusion of waterthrough a semipermeable membrane. I'm not certain what the generic term for other solvents would be.
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
it may be NaCL
The only substance that carries out osmosis is water. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentration of solute to a high concentration of solute in the pursuit of equilibrium across the membrane.

The definition of osmosis does not restrict this phenomenon to any single substance. I don't know where you would get that idea. In practice, most of the situations involving osmosis, that are of interest to us, take place in an aqueous medium. But osmosis can occur in other media.

Diffusion is when the particles of gas or any substance are spread out. Osmosis is two solutions are separated. Sugar molecules cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion.
