Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi permeable substance
Therefore the solution moves from the lower concentration level to the higher concentration level.
In fact during osmosis, the solute particles do not move. Movement in the solution occurs due to the inetioc energy imparted to the liquid molecules.

HEY!!
____________________________
✴WHAT IS OSMOSIS
✔The movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.
✔It is a special case of diffusion, where the medium is water.
✔For example, if the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell that is if the solution is a dilute solution, then the cell will gain water by osmosis.
____________________________
✴WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF OSMOSIS?
✔Osmosis is of importance to human beings in both the biological processes occurring in the body as well as day to day life.
✔Osmosis also influences the distribution of nutrients and the release of metabolic waste products into and out of the body.
