The diffusion of a solvent through a semi permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration. The semi permeable membrane is permeable to the solvent, but not to the solute, resulting in a chemical potential difference across the membrane which drives the diffusion. The solvent flows from the side ...

In chemistry, osmosis is the passage of fluid from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semi permeable membrane. A solution exerts osmotic pressure (O.P.) or suction in proportion to concentration but also depending on the kind of dissolved substance. The roots of the higher plants are covered with fine root-hairs,...

(Gk: osmos=to push) the transport of molecules in a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated solution, until the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane are the same. Osmosis plays a decisive part in controlling the water distribution in living things. In diffusion, molecules travel from a more concentrated...
