define osmosis ???????
Answers
Explanation:
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides
hope it's helpful for u..
Answer:
When a semi-permeable membrane is placed between a solvent and solution, the solvent molecules flow through the membrane from pure solvent to solution. This process of flow of solvent is called osmosis. Compared to other colligative properties, its magnitude is large even for very dilute solutions.
Osmosis is the term used to refer specifically to the diffusion of water across a differentially- or selectively permeable membrane. Water will move from its region of higher chemical potential (or concentration) to its region of lower chemical potential until equilibrium is reached.
Movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
In biology, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell's partially permeable membrane.
