Osmosis definition
A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane
41
Diffusion definition
The movement of individual molecules of a substance through a semipermeable barrier from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
