Fish are the perfect example of osmosis in living organisms. Salt Water fish are constantly drinking because they are always losing water to their environments. On the other hand, fresh water fish almost never need to drink because they are constantly absorbing water through their skin.

Could somebody improve this because this doesn't exactly say how osmosis actually happens in living things it just says about salt fish which might have soemthing to do with it/

/ Osmosis is when water moves from an area of high concentration to low, which is why salt water fish lose water ( it's less concentrated around them, because of the salt, than in them)
