Question

Explain the process of osmosis and given an example​

Answer 1

Osmosis is the movement of liquid molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane. An example of osmosis can be the intake of water molecules in plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water where molecules of water move passively (without energy) from high concentration to low concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water where molecules of water move passively (without energy) from high concentration to low concentration.

A good example would be the way water rushes into a sponge, when a dry sponge is placed in a pan of water. Water fills the empty spaces of the sponge until the concentration in and out of the sponge is normalized.

Here is a video which describes how osmosis impacts onion cells placed into tap water and then into a salt water solution.
