Osmosis is the movement of water molecules but water must also be in the liquid state and move across a semi-permeable membrane. Water as water vapour acts like a gas so this cannot be called osmosis.

How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
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.
Osmosis is an example of?
highest water concertration to lower water concertration
How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
Absorbtion of water by plant is an example of?
Absorption of water by plants is a form of diffusion called 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.
Is diffusion an example of smelling burnt toast from another room?
is diffusion an example if smelling burnt toast from another room
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Why are the processes of diffusion and osmosis are important?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
