Question

what do you mean by osmosis ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane toward a higher concentration of solute (lower concentration of solvent). ... When a cell is submerged in water, the water molecules pass through the cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Answer 2

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.
