osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is a type of diffusion but through a barrier (membrane) while "diffusion" is not specified if there is a physical barrier or not. Gases diffuse through each other readily.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
