Question

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion? Osmosis is the movement of particles from a high to a low particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration. Osmosis is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration.

Answer 1

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.

It's actually really simple:
1) Diffusion simply means liquid or gas particles spreading out. They spread out from the area where most of the particles are orginally located. In other words they thus spread out from a HIGH CONCENTRATION area to a LOW CONCENTRATION area. 2) Osmosis is LITERALLY just DIFFUSION OF WATER. HOWEVER, you MUST use the word 'osmosis' when referencing such diffusion of water.

Answer 2

Answer: Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.
