How diffusion and osmosis are related to each other?
Answer :
The movement of solute particles take place from a region of higher concentration to a region where the concentration of solutes is low. This is diffusion.
Similarly, osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower where the concentration of water molecule is low, through a semi-permeable membrane.
This is a picture showing comparison between osmosis and diffusion.
