Answer:

In explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

DIFFUSION:

The movement of particles from a region where they are in higher concentration to a region where they are in lower concentration until the equilibrium is achieved is known as the process of "Diffusion". It occurs in all three states of matter, that is solid, liquid and gas.

OSMOSIS:

When the particles of a solvent move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration of the solution is balanced, is known as "Osmosis". It occurs in liquids only.
