Because diffusion is the movement of solute particles while osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
What else can I help you with?
What is osmosis and reverse osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Reverse osmosis is a process where external pressure is applied to force water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane, leaving impurities behind. It is commonly used for producing clean drinking water.
Does osmosis occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup?
Yes, osmosis will occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup. The dried apple slices will absorb water in the distilled water through osmosis as water moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration. In the corn syrup, the opposite will happen as water will move out of the apple slices into the higher concentration solution.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What is a synonym for osmosis?

Is atsara an example of osmosis?
no astara is not related to osmosis ..............
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)

Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
When raisins absorb water is it diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
How does kidney dialysis use osmosis?
Actualy, it doesnt use osmosis at all. Diaysis is the opposite of osmosis many people tend to mix up the two. But during dialysis the transfer of paticles form a higher area of concetration move to an area of lower concetration. Dialysis is used i artificial kidney machiens because it will let salts and other small molecules that are dissolved in blood pass through the membranes of cells.
How do you spell osmosis?
The correct spelling of "osmosis" is O-S-M-O-S-I-S.
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
A sentence with the word osmosis?
Today we learned about osmosis in school
What solution causes osmosis?
Hypotonic Solution causes osmosis.
