Osmosis:

  1. Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to lower water potential through a semipermeable membrane.
  2. It is of two types:
  • Endosmosis: It is the movement of solvent into the cell.
  • Exosmosis: It is the movement of solvent out of the cell.
  • The direction of the solvent is from the surrounding solution into the cell.

Final answer: Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane.
