chemical potential. The distinction is that diffusion is non-vectorial 
random walk and osmosis is bulk flow through channels. That is, 
fundamentally, the WHY is the same but the HOW differ enormously.

I know this was not the point of this statement, but isn't the energy 
source for both kinetic energy.... the concentration gradients 
determining direction of net movement?
