Question

Why is diffusion different from osmosis

Answer 1

osmosis takes place only in water. One similarity between osmosis and diffusion is that they are both passive in nature and no external force is required for the flow of molecules from one place to another.

Answer 2

Osmosis only allows solvent molecules to move freely, but diffusion allows both solvent and solute molecules to move freely. ... Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.
