<em>-From a higher concentration to a lower concentration</em>
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
<em><u>Osmosis is the process by which water moves from its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. </u></em>
<em><u>Osmosis is an example of passive transport, since it does not require energy like the case of active transport.</u></em>
<em><u>For example, when a cell is put in a hypotonic solution, a solution with more solvent concentration, the cells absorbs water from the solution through osmosis and increases in size.</u></em>
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.Osmosis can be made to do work.
Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane.
Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air. It also gets rid of carbon dioxide. Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat. Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body.
The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 through the microscope. Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden discovered cell theory and postulated that All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
,the cell is the most basic unit of life and All cells arise only from pre-existing cells
