Question

what is the process of osmosis.​

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.

Answer 2

Osmosis is a process which occurs when there is a difference in solute concentration between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane allows passage of water but not of solutes. The passage of water occurs because of a pressure difference of water between the two solutions. The pressure needed to to stop the flow of water from a solution with low osmolarity to a solution with higher osmolarity is in fact called osmotic pressure, and is calculated with the van’t Hoff equation.
