Diffusion |
Osmosis |
|
1.It is the process of movement of the molecules from high concentration to low concentration until molecules get uniformly distributed. |
1.It is the process of diffusion of only solvent of water molecules from its higher concentration to lower concentration via semi permeable membrane. |
|
2. Semi permeable membrane is not needed. |
2. Semi permeable membrane is essential. |
|
3. It involves the movement of both solute and solvent |
3. Osmosis involves movement of solvent molecules only.
