Question
Distinguish between Diffusion and Osmosis.
Solution
| Diffusion | Osmosis | ||
| 1. | It takes place in solid, gas, or liquid medium. | 1. | It takes place only in a liquid medium. |
| 2. | it does not require the presence of a semi-permeable membrane. | 2. | It requires the presence of a semipermeable membrane. |
| 3. | In diffusion, the movement of ions/atoms/molecules from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration takes place. | 3. | In osmosis, the only solvent diffuses from a lower concentration of solution to a higher concentration of solution. |
| 4. | The diffusion pressure influences it. | 4. | Only the turbine pressure has an impact on it. |
| 5. |
It is the movement of molecules of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. |
5. |
It is the process in which water molecules move through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. |
