Question

which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion? a. osmosis is the movement of particles from a high to a low particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration. b. osmosis is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration, while diffusion is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration. c. osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration, while diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to a low particle concentration. d. osmosis is the movement of water from a low to a high water concentration, while diffusion is the movement of particles from a low to a high particle concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water from a high - water concentration to a low - water concentration across a semi - permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high particle concentration to a low particle concentration.

Answer:

D. Osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration, while diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to a low particle concentration.
