The movement of water molecules in and out of a cell is called osmosis.

Osmosis, or the diffusion of water molecules, is when water molecules flow in or out of a cell from high to low concentrations (down their concentration gradient). The ultimate goal of osmosis is to establish equilibrium between the cell and its outer environment.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

In the bone modelling process, osteoblasts a responsible for bone formation and osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption. In the young adult during growth, the formation of bone exceeds the resorption of bone to maintain bone mass. Therefore,

As we get older, bone formation decreases due to reduction in osteoblastic activity and numbers and bone resorption increases as a result of sex hormone deprivation, this will result in decreased bone mass (osteoporosis). Therefore, osteoclastic activity would have to exceed osteoblastic activity in order or osteoporosis to develop
