Question

What is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane called?

Answer 1

Osmosis:

1. Osmosis is defined as the process of the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane.
2. The process by which water molecules move from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas across the semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
3. If two adjacent concentrations are different, the material tends to spread to even out the concentrations.
4. Semipermeable membranes are membranes that allow only the movement of solvent molecules, but limit the movement of solute particles across the membrane.
