Difference between Aquaporin and Vacuole

Aquaporin vs. Vacuole

Aquaporins, also called water channels, are channel proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells. A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal, and bacterial cells.

Osmosis

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential (region of higher solute concentration), in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
