Osmosis is where the water or other particles go from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This is often against a pressure gradient. This type of reaction involves a process known as ACTIVE TRANSPORT where ATP (adenotriphosphate) is required (energy required).
Diffusion is where the products even themselves out through a given solution. This process is done by passive transport, where NO energy or ATP are required.
Osmosis is diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane.
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.

I assume you're talking about Osmosis, but I believe there are actually other similar processes as well.
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They both do not require energy input from the cell to occur.

Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
Diffusion and osmosis are similar processes, but they are not the same. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
Diffusion and osmosis are similar in that they are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.

diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
