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.
The four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis. Passive transport is the movement of a substance across a cell membrane with its concentration gradient (from high to low concentration) and it uses no energy. Osmosis is a special term used when water is the substance being moved.
Osmosis is considered a specialised type of diffusion because it ONLY involves water passing from a region of high water potential to an area of low water potential through a partially-permeable membrane. Osmosis takes place primarily in our small intestines, where water is absorbed.
hydrogen bondingANS2:Substances are moved into cells by both active transport and passive transport. An example of active transport is "Endocytosis". An example of passive transport is "Diffusion".
Trans-membrane diffusion.
Osmosis is a process by which molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. An example sentence using osmosis could be: "During osmosis, water molecules moved from the beaker with a lower salt concentration to the one with a higher salt concentration."

Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport and active transport- which requires energy to work.
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
Energy is used in active transport, where molecules are moved against their concentration gradient with the help of proteins in the cell membrane. In contrast, diffusion and osmosis are passive processes that do not require energy as molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

In osmosis, water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement of water helps to balance the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane.
Active transport.The energy is provided by a high-energy molecule, often ATP.Active transport is used to move a substance against (= up) its concentration gradient.Diffusion is what moves across the plasma membrane. This cannot move across water.
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
Osmosis is a physical process, not a chemical change. It involves the movement of solvent molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. No new substances are formed during osmosis.
osmosis i believe
Osmosis takes place across a permeable membrane. The membrane seperates two compartments (for example, the inside of a cell from the outside), one of which has a heavier concentration of a solute (e.g., sodium or potassium ions) than the other. The solvent (usually water) travels across the membrane until the concentrations are at equilibrium. Diffusion is the passive scattering of a concentration of solute out into the solution. No membrane is required. It is just the second law of thermodynamics in action, that says that systems always act in such a way that order decreases and chaos, or entropy, increases. It proceeds until the solute has reached maximum dispersion. Osmosis is always the movement of water particles into and out of cells across the partially permeable membrane (or occasionally other semi-permeable materials). Any other substance being moved this way whether across a cell membrane or not is simply referred to as diffusion.
The substance moved into the water through osmosis. The concentration of the substances inside the dialysis bag was higher than in the water and membrane was permeable to the substances. As such, they moved from a high to a low concentration along a concentration gradient.
