Question

Explain the difference between osmosis and diffusion and why each of these are crucial process in a cell.

Answer 1

Answer: In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration. Both diffusion and osmosis aim to equalize forces inside cells and organisms as a whole, spreading water, nutrients and necessary chemicals from areas that contain a high concentration to areas that contain a low concentration.

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecule from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis is the movement of molecules from a place of high water concentration to a place of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane
