Although they do sometimes manage to slip across the membrane throughdiffusion, the process is extremely slow due to the size of the molecules. ... cells diffuse water across the plasma membrane through osmosisbased on concentration. Therefore, animals cells maintain the properbalance of water and solutes.

The water balance in the cell is maintained by the process of osmosis.
Explanation
- when the amount of solute inside the cell increases the cell becomes hypertonic. Then Water enters into the cell to maintain the osmolarity.
- Similarly when the amount of solute which is present inside the cell is less than that of the environment than water moves out from the body of the cell to the outside. In this process the molarity of the cell is maintained.
- Other than this there are a large number of aquaporins which helps in the entry and exit of water through the cells.
