Semipermeable membranes are used in osmosis. Semipermeable membranes let some molecules pass through them but not others, so they are partially or semi permeable. For example, the membrane may let smaller size molecules pass though but block larger molecules sort of like a sifter. Thus the two molecular substances can be separated.

Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.

How fluids move across capillary membranes?
Osmosis.
What do you call the movement of water across cell membranes?
osmosis
What does Osmosis includes?
All the actions of semiperiable membranes : surfaces that allow some materials to pass through but not others. USUALLY the term osmosis refers to membranes that pass water but not other substances.
