Answer 1

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.

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.

The three types of osmotic conditions include-

• hypertonic

• isotonic

• hypotonic

Isotonic: The solutions being compared have equal concentration of solutes. Hypertonic: The solution with the higher concentration of solutes.

Hypotonic: The solution with the lower concentration of solutes.
