Analyses Osmosis and Diffusion Osmosis and Diffusion are processes of passive transport. In this lab we studied the basic concepts of molecular movement in solutions. During the execution of the experiment, I became aware that molecules are in constant motion and tend to move from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules following that concentration gradient. It occurs on the diverse states of matter. Osmosis refers to the specialized diffusion of molecules of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
