both diffuse from a area of high to low concentration
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
They are similar. Diffusion refers to a movement from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.

Osmosis and diffusion are the same because they are both ways that molecules are carried across the cellular membrane with the concentration gradient.
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
Osmosis is just a form of diffusion. They are both the movement of substances and both require a concentration gradient.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
