Question
‘Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion’. Comment.
Solution
In diffusion, the particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration without separation by a semipermeable membrane. In osmosis, the particles move from lower concentration to higher concentration (solvent to solution) when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Hence, osmosis is a special kind of diffusion involving movement of particles.
