Question

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion?

A. Osmosis is the movement of particles from a high to a low particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.
B. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.
C. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration.
D. Osmosis is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration.

Answer 1

Option B would be correct. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from higher to lower concentration, while Diffusion is the movement of higher to lower particle concentration.

Answer 2

The answer is B because diffusion goes from high to low and osmosis goes from low to high in water across a semipermeable membrane
