Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration is called osmosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -In osmosis, water moves from areas of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion; it is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
Detailed explanation-5: -Diffusion is based on the tendency of molecules to move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. This process requires assistance in form of energy.
