Explanation: Factors Affecting the Rate of Osmosis
Temperature - The higher the temperature, the faster the movement of water molecules across the semi permeable membrane.
Osmosis is the passage of water from a low solute concentration area through a semi-permeable membrane to a high solute concentration area to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides. Meaning of the terms: solute, solvent and solution. A solvent is the base substance, where a solute is being dissolved and the result is the solution. Through osmosis, water is provided to the cells of your body; it plays a significant role in the preservation of life. It is this process that helps plants receive water and is even used in kidney dialysis.
