2. Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent
molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a
region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that
tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
The osmosis and diffusion both are the processes
that equalize the concentration of two solutions but
both are differ in their nature and process.
3. And we can say it the phenomenon in which the two solutions of two different
concentrations are separated by the semi permeable membrane.
The molecules of the water move from their higher concentration to their lower
concentration till the concentration of both the solutions becomes equal.
4.
5. Osmosis caused by a concentration
difference of H2O.
If a substance is dissolved in water, the
kinetic energy of the water molecules is
lowered.
6. This is because some water molecules
aggregates on the surface of the other
molecules......
Water molecules always move from
less negative to more negative water
Potential.
7. Osmosis also plays an important part in the body.
It helps in the transfer of water and various nutrients between blood and fluid of
Cells.
Plants also use osmosis to take in water and minerals essential for its growth.
Reverse osmosis is a type of osmosis which is used to convert sewage water into
clean water.
