What is osmosis?
Back
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

What is the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Back
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration without the need for a protein, while facilitated diffusion requires a protein to help transport molecules across the membrane.
