diffusion and osmosis

Diffusion defenition

The movement of particles from an area of hight concentration to an area of low concentration.

When you put fresh fruit in a bowl with sugar, over time, there will be more syrup outside the the fruit. This is because

The sugar has dissolved in the moisture from the fruit, and this solution is more concentrated than the solution inside the fruit. Osmosis Is yhe movement of water out of yhe fruit through ist partials permeable membrane .

Percentage of average mass change =

Change in mass number ÷ starting mass × 100

Difference between osmosis and diffusion

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion involving water moving through a partially permeable membrane
