Question

What is osmosis (in one word answer)

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the water. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Answer 2

Osmosis is the movement of the solvent particle from the region of comparatively lower concentration to the region of comparatively higher concentration across a semipermeable membrane

Explanation:

• The water balance in the cell is maintained by the process of osmosis.

• when the amount of solute inside the cell increases the cell becomes hypertonic. Then Water enters into the cell to maintain the osmolarity.

• Similarly when the amount of solute which is present inside the cell is less than that of the environment than water moves out from the body of the cell to the outside. In this process the molarity of the cell is maintained.

• Other than this there are a large number of aquaporins which helps in the entry and exit of water through the cells.
