Diffusion |Osmosis
Occurs in all mediums – Solid, Liquid and Gas.|It is limited only to the liquid medium.
Do not require a semipermeable membrane.| Requires a semipermeable membrane.
Both the molecules of solute and solvent can diffuse.|Only the solvent molecules can diffuse.
The flow of particles occurs in all the directions.| The flow of particles occurs only in one direction.
This process can neither be stopped nor reversed.|The entire process can either be stopped or reversed by applying additional pressure on the solution side.
Occurs between the similar and dissimilar types of solutions.|Occurs only between similar types of solutions.
It does not depend on solute potential, pressure potential, or water potential. |Depends on solute potential.
It helps in the uptake of minerals and nutrients. |Not associated with uptake of minerals and nutrients.
Transpiration is controlled by the processes, such as osmotic potential and water potential. |Evaporation is not controlled by any such process.
It depends on the presence of other particles. |Depends on the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent.
