Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis refers to the movement of fluid across a membrane in response to differing concentrations of solutes on the two sides of the membrane. Osmosis has been used since antiquity to preserve foods by dehydration with salt or sugar. The removal of water from a tissue by salt was referred to as imbibition.
