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. Diffusion is the movement of particles (such as ions, molecules, or gases) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Thus, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules, while diffusion refers to the movement of any type of particle.

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.
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 movement of water through diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
I assume you're talking about Osmosis, but I believe there are actually other similar processes as well.

The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
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.
Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permable membrance.
