Best Answer

diffusion uses water to move molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration but in osmosis it is the same but without water.

One example of osmosis:people entering a train station(higher concentration) to inside the train(lower concentration).

Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?

The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.


What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water.


How does the cell transport water?

It uses osmosis (diffusion for water) so the water just travels naturally. If you want more information, use these terms in Google, hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, diffusion, osmosis

What is the name of the diffusion of water?

Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
