they are both the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration down a concentration gradient

The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
"Flowing Through Membranes: Osmosis and Diffusion Explained"
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Simple diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The main similarity is that both processes involve the movement of molecules across a membrane, but osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
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.
One similarity between osmosis and facilitated diffusion is that both involve the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by a concentration gradient.
The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.
both need transport protein
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.

Diffusion, Osmosis
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
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.
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
