How osmosis and diffusion are alike?

Answer 1

Answer

diffusion- movement of molecules from higher proportion to lower proportion
osmosis - movement of water molecules from a more CONCENTRATED solution to less concentrated solution

Answer 2

Both are passive processes, occurring without any input of energy. Substances diffuse down their concentration gradients; although molecules move randomly, in all directions, the net movement will be from an area of higher concentration toward an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a specific case of diffusion. The term refers to the diffusion of water molecules.

Answer 3

Osmosis and diffusion are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. They do not require energy input from the cell and are important for maintaining equilibrium within cells and tissues.

Answer 4

Both move substances from area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration
