Question

Osmosis and diffusion differs ,that osmosis is one way traffic and diffusion is a two -way traffic

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution.

Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

The main difference between osmosis and diffusion is that in diffusion both solvent and solute particles are free to move, but in osmosis only the solvent molecules cross the membrane.

So the statement osmosis is one-way traffic and diffusion is a two -way traffic is true.
