Question

define osmosis..........​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Osmosis (/ɒzˈmoʊ. sɪs/) is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

Answer 2

$\huge\blue{\sf Osmosis \: :}$

The movement of a particle or water molecules from a semi permeable membrane is called as osmosis.

$\red{\sf Note \: :}$ Semi permeable membrane :- Plasma membrane.

$\large\red{\sf Additional \: information \: :}$

• Water molecules moves from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.
• Osmosis is a vital process.
• Water is transported into and out of the cells by the process of osmosis.
• It happens without any energy.
• There are two types of osmosis : Endosmosis and Exosmosis.
• Osmosis is responsible for the absorption of water from the soil in the plants and it conducts the water to the upper part of the plant throught xylem.
• Osmosis maintains the turgidity of the cell.
• Some factors affects the rate of osmosis :- Temperature, pressure, surface area, water potential and concentration gradient.
