DiffusionDiffusion
Diffusion - free movement of most Diffusion - free movement of most electrolytes, atoms, and molecules through electrolytes, atoms, and molecules through cell membranes (selective and cell membranes (selective and impermeable)impermeable)
Movement of molecules from an area of Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration; high concentration to low concentration; occurs in liquids, solids, and gasesoccurs in liquids, solids, and gases
Membrane separating two areas must be Membrane separating two areas must be permeable to substance for diffusion to permeable to substance for diffusion to occuroccur

OsmosisOsmosis
Osmosis and filtration act together in Osmosis and filtration act together in capillary fluid dynamics to control capillary fluid dynamics to control extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) volumesfluid (ICF) volumes
