- Osmosis: Video, Causes, Meaning | Osmosis
Well, then, simply put, osmosis is how water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane that separates two solutions It can be thought of as passive diffusion of water and it requires no energy
- Osmosis | Definition, Examples, Facts | Britannica
Osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances—i e , solutes) The process, important in biology, was first thoroughly studied in 1877 by a German plant physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer
- Osmosis - Definition and Examples | Biology Dictionary
Osmosis is when a substance crosses a semipermeable membrane in order to balance the concentrations of another substance In biology, this is usually when a solvent such as water flows into or out of a cell depending on the concentration of a solute such as salt
- Osmosis - Wikipedia
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane toward a higher concentration of solute In biological systems, the solvent is typically water, but osmosis can occur in other liquids, supercritical liquids, and even gases [11][12]
- Osmosis Definition - BYJUS
Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane
- Physiology, Osmosis - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Osmosis, Greek for push, is the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane (see Figure Osmosis) [1] [2] Across this membrane, water tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
- Osmosis: Definition and How Does it Occur (with Diagram)
Osmosis is defined as the spontaneous movement of solvent molecules from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane in order to equalize their concentrations on both sides of the membrane

Osmosis refers to the movement of water molecules only The slideshow shows an example of osmosis showing the direction of movement of water between two different concentrations of sugar
