Answered by admin @



Osmosis:
the movement of water molecules through a selective permeable membrane is called osmosis. it is the passage of water from high concentration to low concentration through semi permeable membrane is called osmosis.


it is different from diffusion as:
1. osmosis occur only in liquid medium whereas diffusion can occur in any medium.

2. diffusion is the movement of substance from high concentration to low concentration. osmosis is the movement of water from the area of higher concentration to lower concentration through SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE.
