Osmosis Diffusion
It happens only in liquid state. It occurs in all states of matter i.e., solids, liquids or gases.
It is the movement of only water or solvent from higher concentration area to lower concentration area. Any type of substance that moves from higher concentration area to lower concentration area.
It is applied only for the solvent part of the solution. Diffusion is applied for all states of matter.
It requires semipermeable membrane. This phenomenon does not require semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis depends on the rate of reduction of free energy of one solvent. It only depends on the free energy of the substance.
Influenced by the solute potential Not influenced by solute potential
It is opposed by hydrostatic or turgor pressure. Hydrostatic pressure or turgor pressure will not occur in diffusion.
In this process, concentration of solvent is not equalized. Concentration of whole substance will be equalised.
Factors like solute potential, water potential and pressure potential will not affect osmosis. Factors like solute potential, water potential and pressure potential will not affect diffusion.
