5 0

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a high water concentration region through a selectively permeable membrane to a low water concentration region.

In diffusion, selectively permeable membrane is neither required nor involved while in osmosis, it is involved.

It has flagella (usually two) known as haptonema. These structures help in attachment and feeding.
The plastids are surrounded by four-layered membranes.
Its species are mostly found in the marine environment, thus classified as phytoplanktons.
Many members of prymnesiophyceae have cell covering made up of calcium carbonate. These structures are known as coccoliths.
