diffusion is the movement of particles form a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. whereas osmosis is the movement of WATER MOLECULES from a region of higher WATER POTENTIAL to a region of lower WATER POTENTIAL through a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE. :D
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
Osmosis is a term applied to the movement of a solution to a zone with solutes.Diffusion is a term applied to a substance moving from a high concentration zone to a low concentration zone.
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.
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.

osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
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.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
Osmosis is a type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Both osmosis and diffusion involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The key difference between the two processes is that diffusion refers to the movement of any type of molecule, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis is a type of diffusion that involves 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.

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
