Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration across a membrane that is selectively permeable to water. This movement occurs due to the presence of solutes, and water always moves towards an area of higher solute concentration, which then results in a lower water concentration.
