Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration; osmosis is the same thing, but with water molecules, not other types of molecules.

What is relationship between osmosis and diffusion?

The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.


Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?

osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane


What is the relationship between osmosis and diffusion by definition what is the only substance that can carry out osmosis?

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that involves the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Water is the only substance that carries out osmosis due to its ability to move freely through the membrane.

Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, while diffusion is the movement of solute particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion can involve any type of particle.


The difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis is the spreading of water from a high to low concentration while diffusion is the spreading of molecules or particles from a high to low co?

The key difference between osmosis and diffusion is that osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion is the movement of molecules or particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis involves the movement of only water molecules, while diffusion can involve any type of molecule or particle.

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.
