although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
In diffusion the solute molecules move from a region of higher concentration of solute to a region of lower concentration of solute. In osmosis the solvent molecules move from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of higher concentration of solute.
Diffusion takes place in solids, liquids and gases. Osmosis takes place only in liquids.
Diffusion doesn't require any membrane. Osmosis takes place through a semi-permeable membrane.
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
Diffusion, Osmosis
Diffusion describes dispersion of a contaminant through a bulk fluid. Osmosis describes dispersion of a contaminant through a membrane or divider of some sort.
Digestions is a life function that is directly related to diffusion and osmosis. The nutrients digested are absorbed and distributed via diffusion and osmosis.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water water moves from high to low concentration
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
true
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
Diffusion is the process in which particles move from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, again to equalise concentrations.
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.
diffusion- it is the type of passing of liquid from one part to another. it has semi-permeable membrane to pass the liquid. osmosis-it is the type of passing liquid but it has no membrane.
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
A special type of diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
The relationship is that osmosis is the diffusion of water throught a selective permeable membrane.
osmosis refers to the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion refers to everything else tending towards equal concentration.
