Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis. Include at least one similarity and one difference between the two processes.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water <span>across a semipermeable membrane (usually cell membrane) from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution so it can reach equilibrium (balance).

D</span>iffusion is <span>a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Both results in particles moving and help balance out the concentrations.
Also, in osmosis, the water molecules are moving. In diffusion, it is the solutes moving.

I hope this helps and explains well.</span>

puteri [66]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) The atom has changed over the years.</em>

Explanation:

Option A is not correct because an atom does not change. It remains the same always. The structure of an atom will always contain neutrons, protons and electrons.

Scientific theories tend to change over time as new information is brought up. Novel techniques lead to more advanced experiments and results. As a result, a scientific theory is subjected to change whenever evidence is found for a new theory which challenges the older one.

The atomic theory has changed many times due to novel scientific techniques and experiments.
