Why does osmosis differ from the diffusion of gases
mrs_skeptik [129]

This can be answered with the help of describing osmosis and diffusion in plants. The motion of molecules through the semi-permeable membrane is osmosis. In diffusion, motion of molecules is direct and does not need a semi-permeable membrane.

Explanation:

  • In plants, osmosis help plants to absorb water from soil. Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide diffuses to the leaves and then to the cells.
  • The genetic modifications in some of the plants can help in survive and adopt the osmosis in a very dry environment. They develop defense methods to handle the water loss. Some plants in a permanent dry environment like desert have special structures like reduced leaves,  sunken stomata, and so on to conserve water.
  • Osmosis happens only in liquid medium. Diffusion happens in any medium - solid, liquid, and gases.
