Answer:
Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the water. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.
Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.
