what is ment by osmosis?​

Answer 1

What is meant by Osmosis?

Answer:-

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. It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a selectively permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis can be made to do work. Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property, meaning that the osmotic pressure depends on the molar concentration of the solute but not on its identity.

Hope it helps you dear......xd

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permiable membrane. I a sense it is a kind of diffusion.
