Wats the difference Between Imbibition,Osmosis and diffusion?

Answer 1

Imbibition is the adsorbtion of water by a hydrophilic substance - such as a dry seed, wood, or pure alchohol
Osmosis is the movement of water through a membrane from one side with a higher concentration of water to the side with a lower concentration
Diffusion is the movement of molecules through a substance so that it becomes evenly distributed

Answer 2

Imbibition is a physical process by which something like a seed absorbs water.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of any substance from a region of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
