Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
Dilute solutions contain a high concentration of water and a concentrated solution contains a low concentration of water
Partially permeable membranes allow some molecules to pass through but not all
Osmosis is simply the diffusion of water
If we place a plant cell in water, water will move into the cell via osmosis and the cell will expand. The cell wall prevents the cell from busting making it swollen. This is called turgid.
A) Water moved in via osmosis
B) Cellwall prevents it from bursting making it turgid
