Differentiate between Diffusion and Osmosis (Definition)
उत्तर
Diffusion and Osmosis (Definition):
| Diffusion | Osmosis |
| Diffusion is the free movement of molecules of a substance from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration when the two substances are in direct contact. | Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a more dilute solution (with a lower solute concentration) to a less dilute solution (with a higher solute concentration). |

A candidate in order to study the process of osmosis has taken 3 potato cubes and put them in 3 different beakers containing 3 different solutions. After 24 hours, in the first beaker the potato cube increased in size, in the second beaker the potato cube decreased in size and in the third beaker there was no change in the size of the potato cube.
