How is osmosis different from simple diffusion? Oosmosis involves the movement of water, simple diffusion involves the movement of solutes Osimple diffusion utilizes energy in the form of a solute concentration gradient, osmosis utilizes energy in the form of ATP Osimple diffusion moves solutes with their concentration gradient, osmosis moves solutes against their concentration gradient osmosis is a form of active transport, simple diffusion is a form of passive transport
