Osmosis 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.

TWO TYPES OF OSMOSIS: ... This occurs when the cell is kept in a medium with higher concentration of water than the cell. This medium is called “hypotonic solution

Example of osmosis
