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.
What two things make osmosis a special type of diffusions?
Osmosis is specifically the diffusion of water, so that's one thing which makes it special. The other is the fact that it occurs through a semi-permeable membrane.
Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution, and if so, how does it differ from osmosis in other types of solutions?
Yes, osmosis can occur in an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, so there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This differs from osmosis in other types of solutions, such as hypertonic or hypotonic solutions, where there is a concentration gradient that causes water to move into or out of the cell to reach equilibrium.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What is a synonym for osmosis?
assimilation , diffusion , passage
How are osmosis differs from diffusion?
it differs with low consentration and high concentraction

What affects the rate of diffusions?
Temperature, Concentration and size of molecules :)
What are Diffusions?
Diffusions refer to the spread of a substance or concept from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In the context of technology, diffusions can also refer to the adoption and implementation of new technologies or innovations within a population or group.
What are few examples of cultural diffusions?
Does anyone know what an educational facility is???

What are the types of diffusions?
In Biology there are three types of diffusion. There are simple, channel, and facilitated diffusion.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
When raisins absorb water is it diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
