Osmosis
-Movement of water molecules from high to low
-Only solvent particles move
-The movement is through semi-permeable membrane
Diffusion
-Movement of molecules form high to low
-Solvent and solute particles move
-No semi-permeable membrane is involved
-They both equalize the concentrat-ion of two solutions
-Neither requires ATP
-Both are Passive Transports -Both move from high to low
