Question

What is osmosis?Please explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes. ... The semipermeable membrane limits the diffusion of solutes in the water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through s semi permeable membrane.

Explanation:

Take potatoes in two beakers with water. Add salt to one of the beaker. Cut the both the potatoes a bit from both sides of the surfaces to let water in.

After 4-5hrs

We observe change in the size of the potato with salt water. Water moves inside the potato from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Hence we can prove that movement of water molecules from higher region to lower region is known as osmosis.
