Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances-i.e., solutes).
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.
Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from its region of higher concentration to its region of lower concentration through a membrane.
Detailed explanation-5: -osmosis in American English 1. the tendency of a solvent to pass through a semipermeable membrane, as the wall of a living cell, into a solution of higher concentration, so as to equalize concentrations on both sides of the membrane. 2. the diffusion of fluids through a membrane or porous partition.
