how is osmosis different from simple diffusion in?
Main Difference The main difference between diffusion and osmosis is, diffusion is a process in which movement of particles take place from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. While osmosis is defined as a process in which movement of water molecules take place through a semi permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to lower water concentration.
Osmosis and Diffusion are extremely similar because they both involve molecules moving from a high to low concentration to reach equilibrium. They are different because osmosis only works with water, and diffusion works with all other elements. hope i helped! be sure to follow up with any questions i can assist you on as well. good luck!
