Question

why is osmosis considered as a special type of diffusion

Answer 1

Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion because in both cases there is a movement of particles from a higher concentration region to a lower concentration region. The only difference is that osmosis is referred only to the movement of the solvent (water) across a semi-permeable membrane.

Answer 2

It involves movement of water molecules only and  not solute molecules 

Answer 3

it involves movement of water molecules from their region which they are of high concentration to a region of their low concentration

Answer 4

S

Answer 5

Because osmosis allow fluid transportation from outside of the cell to inside

Answer 6

 Osmosis is the same as diffusion but it is specified in small molecules which are able to pass through a semi-permeable membrane and diffusion all molecules are fine

Answer 7

It is the process by which water molecules move from region of high water concentration to region of lower water concentration 

Answer 8

Because it involves the movement of water

Answer 9

This is because osmosis involve water moving from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through semi membrane 

Answer 10

Because it uses water
