Okay. Do you know what they mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

osmosis... a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diffusion... the intermingling of substances by the natural movement of their particles.
