Question

What are the similarities between DIFFUSION, FACILITATED DIFFUSION and OSMOSIS?

Answer 1

Answer:

1)Both osmosis and diffusion equalises the concentration of two solutions.

2)Both are passive transport.

3)Do not require energy.

4)In both processes particle move or flow from the higher concentration to lower concentration until equilibrium achieved.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
