What is the difference between osmosis and dffiution

  • 0
OSMOSIS-the tendency of a fluid,usually water.to pass through a semi-permeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration ids higher,thus equalising the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. DIFFUSION-
diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion.

diffusion ; the movement of gases from high concentration level to low concentration level

Osmosis is the phenomenon of the movement of Solvent molecules from lower solute conc. to higher solute conc. through a semi-permeable membrane to make solute conc. equal on both sides. Osmosis is diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
