Both involve passive transport: The movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration in order to reach a state of equilibrium.
The process of diffusion or osmosis aims to reach equilibrium.
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
The essential idea is the same: diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis is the process by which molecules of WATER spread from areas of high concentration (such as a dilute solution) to areas of low concentration (such as a concentrated solution), typically through a selectively permeable membrane. In short: Diffusion occurs as is, while osmosis occurs through a semi permeable membrane.
Diffusion - the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis - the diffusion of water (across a membrane)
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.

by... osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule across and athe diffusion is the process by which molecules speards from area

Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
They are similar. Diffusion refers to a movement from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water.
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
