  • Osmosis vs. Diffusion: Understanding Water Movement
    No, diffusion of water is not called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, is the net movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. While osmosis is a specific type of diffusion, diffusion is a more general term that encompasses the movement of all molecules, not just water.
