lizzie777:

well acc to google it saids Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through the cell. Diffusion is the movement of molecules, such as oxygen, in and out of a cell.

XioGonz:

Osmosis---> Solvent particles migrate across a semipermeable membrane, and solute particles do not move across. Diffusion--> Solvent/solute particles migrate, concentrations are equalized. Semipermeable membranes are neither involved nor required. Similarities--> Solution concentrations are equalized.
