Open in App
Solution

The concentration of solute is a factor that decides the movement of water across the plasma membrane.

Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.

The plasma membrane is a type of semipermeable membrane.
