how is osmosis related to diffusion?

Answer Posted / t. sonai raja

DIFFUSION is where the particles spread out to form and
equal distribution of atoms in a solution e.g. ink in water
but osmosis is basically the same exept through a semi
permeable membrane and only the water molecules move
OSMOSIS is where you have two chambers where two different
fluids are allowed to blend back and forth equally until
evenly distributed through some sort of filter.
Diffusion is where a small amount of fluid is gradually
allowed to pass into another
