Osmosis is just about water moving through a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion deals with various molecules moving from high to low concentration. Think of osmosis as the VIP, only allowing water to pass through, and diffusion as the general admission for all molecules!

In osmosis, water molecules move through a semi-permeable membrane. In diffusion, molecules spread out evenly in all directions without any barriers.

Osmosis is like a one-way ticket for water through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion? It's a free-for-all for any molecule!

Osmosis involves water moving through a special membrane. Diffusion doesn't need any membrane; it happens everywhere.
