What describes the role of osmosis in cells?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable which allows for movement (exchanges) through it always from the side of higher concentration moving over to the side of lower concentration. This defines the movement osmosis. The role of osmosis is to maintain equilibrium between inside and outside the cell. Sudden, large shifts via osmosis can indicate illness or a response to severe injury.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
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.

What are 2 examples of 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.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
