How Does Osmosis Differ From Diffusion?
Osmosis specifically involves the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion can involve any type of molecules and doesn't require a membrane. Think of osmosis as Mother Nature's way of balancing water levels!

Osmosis is like water's VIP access through a membrane, but diffusion is an all-access pass for all molecules to move around freely.
Osmosis needs a semi-permeable membrane for water to move, but diffusion doesn't require any membrane and works for all molecules.
Osmosis = water and semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion = any molecules and no membrane needed. Simple!
