Solution

Osmosis is the process by which solute-like water moves from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane.
The cell membrane is semi-permeable and thus allows only some substances to pass through.
The movement of water occurs from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution in osmosis.
