Explanation:

Diffusion can be defined as the movement of the particles from a higher amount to the lower amount. it is usually used for gaseous particles.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of the solvent particles from an area where its amount is high or more to an area where its amount is low or less through the semi permeable membrane.

These two processes does not requires energy and is not an active process.
