What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?

There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.


When two gases are mixed what is it called?

A process of gas diffusion occur and a mixture of gases is obtained.


What is the difffrence between diffusion and osmosis?

1 diff. Semi permiable membrane is required in osmosis while it is not required in diffusion. 2 diff. Osmosis cn occur only in liquid medium while diffusion cn occur in all mediums.


Difference between osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of substance (anything- solid ,liquid, gas, etc.) from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient.Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient through a partially permeable membraneSo the difference is that diffusion involves movement of any particles/ substance (e.g. solid, liquid, gas) while osmosis can only occur with water.Another one is that diffusion can occur with or without a membrane but osmosis can only occur with a membrane.Hope this helps. :)


How is osmosis related diffusion?

Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
