Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane. This phenomenon is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes on either side of the membrane, which creates an osmotic pressure that causes the water molecules to move.
