What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion? Osmosis is a kind of diffusion that involves movement of water.

Diffusion uses energy, but osmosis does not.

Diffusion only occurs in animal cells, and osmosis only occurs in plant cells.

Osmosis is movement of proteins, and diffusion is movement of water.

Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution. ... Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.
