Diffusion is the general category for random movement of molecules from a high concentration to one of a low concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. It involves water and a semipermeable membrane. If either one of these things is missing osmosis does not occur. So osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water within cells.
Do I get ten points? Lol!!!

Osmosis: the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion.
