Question

Osmosis and diffusion are the same except that in osmosis there is

• A. An endless flow of water into the cell
• B. A cell wall in between
• C. Active or passive transport takes place though here
• D. Freely permeable membrane

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Active or passive transport takes place though here

Osmosis is a specific form of diffusion referring only to the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a partially permeable membrane. For example, we refer to water entering plant cells by osmosis instead of diffusion.
