Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane (semipermeable) membrane. Water always moves from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water.
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of sugar through a membrane is typically referred to as diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
water
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.
diffusion
Osmosis is the special form of diffusion that applies only to water. It is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane.

The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
osmosis refers to the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion refers to everything else tending towards equal concentration.
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of sugar through a membrane is typically referred to as diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
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.
