AI Generated Solution

To classify the given scenarios as osmosis or diffusion, we need to understand the definitions of both processes: 1. **Osmosis**: This is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane until equilibrium is reached. 2. **Diffusion**: This is the movement of gas or solute molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Now, let's classify each scenario: ...
