Question

1. the diagram compares diffusion of sugar molecules and osmosis. explain the difference between osmosis and diffusion in cells.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of any substance (like sugar molecules) from an area of high concentration to an area of low - concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that specifically involves the movement of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane (such as the cell membrane) from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration).

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of any substance from high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane from high water to low water concentration.
