Water.

osmosis always refers to the diffusion of WATER down a concentration gradient.

diffusion can be applied to any substance;
osmosis only applies to the diffusion of water.

in the situation described, osmosis occurs by water diffusing out of the plant, down the diffusion gradient (because the salt water effectively has a lower concentration of water than in the plant) and into the salt water.

Helga [31]
The very function, or job of CELL MEMBRANES is to protect the cell from it's surroundings, or in other words, to keep it safe. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles, like a guard watching for suspicious activity and protecting something.

The cell membrane itself is a thin, flexible layer around the cells of all living things. It separates the inside of the cells from the outside of the cells.

baherus [9]

Answer: The particles that can pass through the cell membrane are the GREEN SOLVENT PARTICLES.

Explanation:

OSMOSIS can be defined as the thermal movement of solvent (water molecules) through a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of the solvent to one where they are in low concentration.

The cell is bound by a membrane called plasma membrane. This membrane is selectively permeable and allows water and certain dissolved solvents to pass through it. As a result, the plasma membrane of the cell regulates the movement of materials between the cell and it's environment.

From the osmosis gizmo, it portrays a typical example of osmotic reaction occuring between a cell immersed in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent particles. In order to maintain an osmotic balance between the cell and the solution surrounding it, the solvent (which is the green solvent particles) will move from the region of higher concentration to a lower region through the cell membrane
