The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the organelle involved in osmosis and diffusion. It acts as a barrier that regulates the flow of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing for the passive movement of substances such as water and solutes through the process of osmosis and diffusion.
The diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing certain substances to pass through via diffusion or osmosis. In diffusion, molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration directly through the membrane. In osmosis, water moves through the membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
Net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane (semipermeable) membrane. Water always moves from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water.
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the organelle involved in osmosis and diffusion. It acts as a barrier that regulates the flow of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing for the passive movement of substances such as water and solutes through the process of osmosis and diffusion.
The movement of of a solute like water is called osmosis.
The diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
The movement of water through diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
