Diffusion and osmosis |
|
Answer» Answer: Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute SOLUTION into a concentrated solution. The solvent moves to dilute the concentrated solution and equalize the concentration on both SIDES of the membrane. Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of HIGHER concentration to LOWER concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration THROUGHOUT the medium. |
