Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is a form of passive transport when water molecules move from low solute concentration(high water concentration) to high solute or low water concentration across a membrane that is not permeable to the solute. There is a form of passive transport called facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a passive form of transport that results in equilibrium, but diffusion is an active form of transport. 2. Osmosis only occurs when a semi-permeable membrane is present, but diffusion can happen whether or not it is present.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis is the flow of water down its concentration gradient, across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis is an example of diffusion, which is when molecules tend to distribute themselves evenly in a space.
