Osmosis is defined as the passive movement of water molecules from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane; water molecules are thus exhibiting the movement.
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
The movement of of a solute like water is called osmosis.

The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
Water is the primary molecule that undergoes osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
Semi permeable membrane means a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule to pass through them. Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. So the membrane should be semi-permeable so as to only allow the movement of H2O molecules and not the other molecules of the mixture.

Osmosis occurs across a semipermeable membrane when water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, in order to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
The antonym of osmosis is diffusion. Diffusion is the process of particles moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, whereas osmosis is specifically the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
