Diffusion and osmosis are both processes by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, while diffusion is a more general term that refers to the movement of any type of particle (not just water).

What is the conclusion to the osmosis and diffusion lab?

The conclusion of an osmosis and diffusion lab typically involves summarizing the results of the experiment, discussing how the movement of molecules was affected by concentration gradients, and confirming if the observed outcomes align with the principles of osmosis and diffusion.
