Chrominfo: Difference between Diffusion and Osmosis

Here are some points mentioned that show the difference between diffusion and osmosis.

Diffusion: Diffusion is the particle movement from the higher concentration area to the lower concentration.

It is a passive process.

Any kind of substance goes from the area of the highest energy or from the concentration to the lowest energy area.
The diffusion can be occurring in every medium (solid, liquid or gas).
A semi-permeable membrane is not required for diffusion.
Diffusion does not rely on the pressure potential, solute potential.
Diffusion for the mostly relies upon the presence of different particles.

Osmosis: Osmosis is the solvent particle movement over a membrane of semi penetrable into a concentrated solution from a dilute solution.

Osmosis is also a passive process.
Just the water or any other solvent are traveling from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration.
Osmosis happens just in the liquid medium.
A semi-permeable membrane is required for osmosis.
Osmosis relies on the potential of solute.
Osmosis depends largely on the number of solute particles which dissolves in the solvent.
