ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In biology, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water moves through a semipermeable membrane in osmosis because there is a concentration gradient across the membrane of solute and solvent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule s across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is osmosis? What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in pure water? Why do plant cells become flaccid in concentrated sugar solutions? What is transpiration? What happens to the transpiration rate as temperature increases? More items
