[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
|
|
diffusion is passive transport, whereas osmosis is active transport
|
|
|
only in diffusion do molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
|
|
|
osmosis is the opposite of diffusion and only involves the movement of water
|
|
|
osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water, whereas diffusion refers to the movement of any type of molecules

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis-The movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Diffusion-The movement of substances or particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration due to random Brownian motion of particles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles from a solution that is diluted to a more concentrated one. In contrast, diffusion is the movement of particles from a higher concentration region to a region of lower concentration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from its region of higher concentration to its region of lower concentration through a membrane.
Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.
Detailed explanation-5: -Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower concentration solution (i.e., higher concentration of water) to an area of higher concentration solution (i.e., lower concentration of water). Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis.
