(N/A)       Diffusion    Osmosis        $1$. This process can take place in any medium (solid,liquid,or gas).    $1$. This process occurs only in a liquid medium.        $2$. The molecules undergoing diffusion may be in solid,liquid,or gaseous state.    $2$. Only solvent molecules (usually water) undergo osmosis.        $3$. It can occur without or through a semipermeable membrane.    $3$. It always takes place through a semipermeable membrane.        $4$. This process depends on the kinetic energy of the molecules participating.    $4$. This process involves the movement of solvent molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential.        $5$. It establishes an equilibrium in the concentration of molecules throughout the medium.    $5$. It does not necessarily equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
