Explain why, osmosis can be considerd to be a special kind of diffusion. Classify the following into
(i) osmosis, and (ii) diffusion:
(a) swelling up of a raisin on keeping in water
(b) spreading of virus on sneezing
(c) earth worm dying on coming in contact with common salt
(d) shrinking of grapes kept in thick sugar syrup
(e) preserving of pickles in salt
(f) spreading of smell of cake being baked in the kitchen
(g) aquatic animals using oxygen dissolved in water during respiration

In both diffusion as well as osmosis, there is movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion can take place without there being a membrane or through a permeable membrane. But, Osmosis can take place through a semi-permeable membrane.
