'Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion'. Comment.

(N/A) Yes,this statement is correct.
In both diffusion and osmosis,particles move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
However,osmosis is considered a special kind of diffusion because it specifically involves the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a semi-permeable membrane.
Diffusion can occur in any medium (solid,liquid,or gas) and does not require a membrane,whereas osmosis is restricted to liquid media and requires a semi-permeable membrane to allow only specific molecules to pass through.
