Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water across a partially permeable (or semipermeable) membrane with a net transport from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.
High water potential means there is a relatively low concentration of solutes (a low solute potential), whereas low water potential has a higher concentration of solutes (also known as a high solute potential). The partially permeable membrane is selective to particles due to the small size of the pores in the membrane, which is not large enough to allow solutes to pass across it, but is large enough to allow water molecules to pass across.
The process is passive, meaning no energy input is required, as it is a result of the random movement of water molecules in solution. During osmosis, water molecules will move in both directions, but will equilibrate when the water potential on each side is equal, and as a result there will have been a net movement of water down a concentration gradient. At this equilibrium, water molecules will continue to travel across the membrane, but at an equal rate in each direction, so that no further net change occurs.
Osmosis is
there is no antonym for osmosis.
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
no astara is not related to osmosis ..............
osmosis
plasmolysis is caused by draining of cytoplasm from a rheo leaf by osmosis
Osmosis. The egg is hypertonic and the vinegar is hypotonic.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Osmosis is
Turgor pressure forces plasma membrane against cell walls of plants and bacteria. The pressure is caused by osmosis.

osmosis
Really? osmosis.
osmosis occurs in the roots
osmosis
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
