What characteristic makes osmosis different from diffusion?


A.Osmosis is used for gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. Diffusion is used for water that contains salt or sugar molecules.


B.Osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane. Diffusion occurs through a permeable membrane.


C.Osmosis requires facilitation by an energy-carrying molecule, such as ATP. Diffusion requires no additional energy to move molecules across the concentration gradient.


D.Net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
