Osmosis Diagram
Osmosis is a process where water molecules move through a semi-permeable membrane, flowing from regions of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration. This movement continues until the concentration of solutes is balanced on both sides of the membrane.
Osmosis is a passive process, meaning it occurs spontaneously without the need for energy input from the cell. It plays a critical role in maintaining the balance of water and solutes within cells and tissues, ensuring proper hydration and function.
