  • Explain the difference between diffusion, osmosis and active transport
    Many substances can move by diffusion, or active transport, but only water can move by osmosis.
    Diffusion is the movement of particles from a concentrated solution to a dilute concentration, but active transport and osmosis involve the movement of particles or water from a dilute concentration to a concentrated solution
    Diffusion and osmosis do not require energy, but active transport does require energy
