Differentiate between diffusion and osmosis. Write any two examples where a living organism uses osmosis to absorb water.

(N/A) Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
$(i)$ Unicellular freshwater organisms,such as Amoeba,gain water through osmosis.
$(ii)$ Plant roots absorb water from the soil through osmosis.
