Question

which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion? 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. 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. 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. 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.

Explanation:

• Diffusion is the movement of particles (solute or gas molecules) from an area of high particle concentration to an area of low particle concentration.
• Osmosis is the movement of water (solvent) from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration) across a semi - permeable membrane.

Answer:

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.
